Which of the following statements accurately characterizes the Iraq War?
A) Because dozens of countries participated in the war, Bush avoided the need to spend much in terms of government funds and, thus, prevented Americans from feeling any impacts of the war.
B) The American public was initially unsupportive of the war, but as it progressed and victory seemed more and more imminent, Americans increasingly got behind the war effort.
C) The use of nuclear weapons and targeted airstrikes by the Americans made it an unprecedentedly modernized war in that it involved painstaking preparations and few casualties.
D) Although the war was hardly successful in Iraq, the efforts meanwhile inadvertently resulted in stripping power away from the Taliban and other terrorist groups in Afghanistan.
E) The war lasted far longer and cost far more than expected, as the Bush administration underestimated what would be involved in occupying, pacifying, and reconstructing postwar Iraq.
