March 20, 2003 President Bush announces U.S. forces have begun a military operation into Iraq. "These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign," the president says. That initial effort to "decapitate" Iraq's leadership with air strikes fails, clearing the way for a ground invasion.

The IBC project released a report detailing the deaths it recorded between March 2003 and March 2005[86] in which it recorded 24,865 civilian deaths. The report says the U.S. and its allies were responsible for the largest share (37%) of the 24,865 deaths.

Pro-Invasion Bias
A study found that in the lead up to the Iraq War, most [media] sources were overwhelmingly in favor of the invasion.
A University of Maryland study on American public opinion found that:

Fifty-seven percent of mainstream media viewers believed that Iraq gave substantial support to Al-Qaeda, or was directly involved in the September 11 attacks (48% after invasion).
Sixty-nine percent believed that Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11 attacks.
Twenty-two percent believed that weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq. (Twenty-one percent believed that chem/bio weapons had actually been used against U.S. soldiers in Iraq during 2003)

Yes. We were given messaging that sounds a lot like the propoganda coming from Russia. It will be temporary, it is to overthrow corrupt or oppressive government, it will restore government representative of the people, our troops will be welcomed with flowers in the streets...
