Increasing Iraqi obstruction of U.N. weapons inspections, despite several
pledges by Iraqi officials to cooperate, led to the withdrawal of U.N. inspectors in
December 1998.
There followed four days of air and missile strikes against Iraq by U.S. and British air force and naval units. A series of follow-on military clashes haveoccurred since 1998, as Iraqi air defense units have tried to target allied aircraft enforcing the no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq.
After a brief lull following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, military clashes between allied and Iraqi units intensified in 2002, amid widespread discussion that the United States might undertake a major military campaign to unseat Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and eliminate Iraqs weapons of mass destruction or programs to develop them.
On October 11, 2002, President Bush signed H.J.Res. 114 (P.L. 107-243), which
authorizes the President to use the U.S. armed forces to defend the national security
of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq, and enforce all
relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.
