Explanation:

They stated purpose of the operation was to degrade Saddam  Hussein's weapons capabilities, to diminish Iraq's ability to attack it's or the US, to demonstrate the consequences of not cooperating with the U.N. The Invasion of Iraq was an unjust criminal operation ordered by George w bush for the intentions to get oil and money. Television has had an immense effect on politics as it has given candidates and parties the ability to convey their messages and policies direct to the masses in the comfort of their own homes. It gives the government of the day the ability to showcase their achievements and for the opposition to oppose. It is a tool that has a wide array of uses that can aide but also destabilized.

The Iraq war should have been avoided because contrary to the claims of the Bush administration there were no weapons of mass destruction only the capability to make nukes, chemical weapons, hydrogen bombs, etc. Another reason why the war should have been avoided was because the lose of life, with around one thousand American and allied troops being killed and a few thousand more injured and an estimated hundred thousand Iraqi citizens being killed with at least seven thousand having been killed by US air strikes, and the last reason is because the war destabilized the middle east even more and the invasion of Iraq made the locals more anti American and when the US pulled out this animosity toward the Americans stayed and helped give terrorist groups like the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS flourish in Iraq and it could be argued that the terrorist groups are now stronger then back in 2003 when the campaigns began.

In conclusion, I personally hate Saddam Hussein, however, The U.S has completely destroyed Iraq. The operation was an illegal war and many war crimes were committed since the beginning of the war. Saddam Hussein was a selfish, criminal, and George w bush is the exact same, only a bit smarter. Iraq's status right now can support everything I'm saying. Right now, with everyday that passes, Iraq is getting worse and worse, All thanks to Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
