1
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,500
And with these words, George Bush, President of the United States of America...

2
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,500
... the Land of the Free, sent his military to execute Operation Eternal Justice.

3
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,500
Correction: Operation Iraqi Freedom.

4
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,500
Because, while all facts were pointing in another direction...

5
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,500
... president Bush saw a link between these horrific terrorist attacks...

6
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,500
... and the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.

7
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,500
Accusing Iraq of the possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction...

8
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,500
... Bush did not hesitate to destroy a regime of which even the Al Qaida...

9
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,500
... (the organisation claiming responsibility of the attacks on 9/11)...

10
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,500
... denied to have any relationship with.

11
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,500
Utilising both air-to-ground and ground-to-ground combat...

12
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,500
...the United States rapidly conquered most of the Iraqi soil.

13
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,500
Only in the later stages of the second Gulf War...

14
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,500
... the opposition appeared to have strength left, and returned fire...

15
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,500
... causing heavy fights in urban areas, and countless civilian lives were lost.

16
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,500
The US military was using the highly inaccurate cruise-missile...

17
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,500
... in a constant attempt of breaking the enemy's defenses and morale...

18
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,500
... while boasting about the precision and accuracy of all weapons used.

19
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,500
After Bush had declared the end of the war, the search for Saddam began.

20
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,500
The US military raided many houses, frightening their residents...

21
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,500
... while trying to find the leaders of the old Iraqi regime.

22
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,500
At first, the Iraqi people seemed relieved and happy about their liberation.

23
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,500
For some, George W. Bush was actually a hero, a friend of the nation.

24
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,500
But international pressure regarding actual results was growing...

25
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,500
... while Saddam was still nowhere to be found.

26
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,500
During this, questions about legitimacy of the war were rising internationally.

27
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,500
But finally, the search had ended.

28
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,500
And so George Bush finally captured the man who had threatened to kill his father.

29
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,500
Facts: Number of civilian casualties: over 12,000.

30
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,500
Over 1,000 American soldiers lost their lives in the second Gulf War...

31
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,500
... 90% of which died after Bush had declared the end of the war.

32
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,500
Estimated total cost of this war: 200,000,000,000 (200 billion) dollars.

33
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,500
Weapons of Mass Destruction are still to be found.

34
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,500
Did George Bush start a war for good, undeniably solid reasons?

35
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,500
You decide...

36
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
