1- The correct answer is D. The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 because some U.S. officials believed that Saddam Hussein was seeking to make or acquire weapons of mass destruction.

2- The correct answer is C. After the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, U.S. and coalition forces were hampered by bad intelligence and a strong resistance in Iraq.

Explanation:

1- The main justification for the invasion of Iraq offered by the president of the United States, George W. Bush and his allies in the coalition, was the assertion that Iraq possessed and was developing weapons of mass destruction, in violation of a 1991 agreement.

2- The invasion led to the rapid defeat of Iraqi forces, the overthrow of President Saddam Hussein, his capture in December 2003 and his execution in December 2006. The US-led coalition in occupied Iraq sought to establish a new democratic government. However, shortly after the initial invasion, violence against coalition forces and between ethnic groups led to an asymmetric war with the Iraqi insurgency, civil war between Sunni and Iraqi Shiites, and the start of operations of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
