I need help with research (On Iraq)

So, after about an hour or two of research, I realized I’m terrible at finding old news. This is rather hard for me too, since there’s quite a lot of information on Iraq, and the stuff I want is rather specific. If it helps, here’s my thesis:

The United States should not have gone to war with Iraq because all of our justifications for war were proven to be erroneous, and we lack(ed) the money and manpower to start another war, especially after the invasion of Afghanistan.

Anything you guys can do to get me started is good, since I’m like, terrible at finding information :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks.

Thank God! I was begining to think that I was the only one who thought that we should have at least waited until we were done with Afgahnistan until invading Iraq.

Thank you guys for your help. Though I changed my thesis to focus only on the erroneous reasons for invasion, it came out excellent, I think. Especially considering I wrote it in two days. Here’s my final product:

If anyone wants the sources I cited, like a good 90% of them, if not all of them, come straight from what SK, Cless, and Nulani got for me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Made it .pdf for those who don’t have Microsoft Word.
