The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was ordered by United States President Barack Obama and carried out in a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation by a team of United States Navy SEALs. Bin Laden's death was welcomed throughout much of the world as a fitting end to a figure who had inspired mass bloodshed and a positive and significant turning point in the fight against al-Qaeda and related groups. The entire incident has shaken the global legal community; dividing it into two namely those who feel the U.S. Government was justified in killing or assassinating bin Laden and those who feel the U.S. Government may have overstepped the legitimacy of its action and violated international and human rights law. This controversy depends upon the argument of whether bin Laden can be classified as an enemy combatant or not.

The White house reported claims that Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, had weapons of mass destruction and that the people of Iraq were living under brutal dictatorship from their leader. Ostensibly the war was to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and eviscerate and remnants of Alqaeda and its affiliates.

There was a lot of international pressure on the Afghan leaders to hand over Osama Bin Laden. When the Taliban didn't do this, the United States decided they would use their armed forces.
