Because Iraq invaded Kuwait and Kuwait is an ally of the US. Iraq's invasion also was a major threat to Saudi Arabia and under no condition could the Western world allow such a concentration of the world oil reserves to be controlled by Saddam Hussein.
the min reason was Iraq was accused of (WMD) weapons of mass destruction. In 2002 a resolution was passed Iraq had to completely cooperate with the search of cruise missiles and (WMD) by the U.N. weapon inspectors.
Operation Desert Storm in 1991 was to remove Iraq from Kuwait (accomplished) Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 was to remove Hussain from Iraqi power (accomplished)
The United States invaded the country of Iraq on March 19, 2003. The invasion lasted until May of the same year. The number of troops involved from the US was 148,000.

A few months. It is said that the Iraq War started on March 20, 2003 but that was the date when America declared they were going to invade Iraq. But in preparation for the attack,100,000 troops were moved to Kuait by Febuary 18th.
It depends what war with Iraq you are referring to. Iraq has fought numerous wars against a whole slew of adversaries. the Bush administration decided to go to war in 2003. The Multinational UN Coalition went to war with Iraq in 1991. The Iranians went to war against the Iraqi invasion of their country in 1980. The Israelis fought against Iraq in 1948 and against Iraqi foreign regiments in 1967 and 1973. The British and Free French invaded Iraq in 1941 to overthrow the pro-Axis government lead by the Golden Square.
Iraq did not go to war with the US. Iraq did invade Kuwait in 1991, and there was a UN response of which the US was the leading contributor. Then the US went back to Iraq again, in 2002, because of concern about noncompliance with UN security council resolutions and weapons inspections. Iraq never declared war on the US, although it is possible to argue that their actions were provocative.
in 1991 during the first gulf war.
The US has launched wars against Iraq on two distinct occasions. The US joined the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 on January 17, 1991 with bombing raids on Iraqi positions along the Iraqi-Saudi border. The US joined the Iraq War of 2003-2011 on March 20, 2003 when US soldiers landed in Iraq and began a northwestward march.
The war against Iraq, known as the Gulf War, was precipitated by Iraq's invasion and occupation of its neighbor, Kuwait.
