| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The lead up to the Iraq War began with United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 and subsequent U.N. weapons inspectors inside Iraq. This period also saw low level hostilities between Iraq and the United States and its allies. In addition to the inspection regimen, the U.S. and UK engaged in a low-level conflict with Iraq by enforcing non-UN mandated northern and southern Iraqi no-fly zones. The CIA's Special Activities Division (SAD) teams were the first U.S. forces to enter Iraq in July of 2002, prior to the US invasion. Once on the ground, they prepared for the subsequent arrival of US Army Special Forces to organize the Kurdish Peshmerga. This book studies the events in the lead up to the Iraq war including the Iraq disarmament crisis, United Nations Special Commission, Iraq Sanctions, and Operation Mass Appeal.
