Which was a reason the Iraq War did not end quickly? The millitary had to spend additional time disposing of weapons of mass destruction safely. The US departments of State and Defense did not have a clear exit strategy. Iraqis on both sides were relying on the United States to help them come to peaceful agreement. Saddam Hussein's capture resulted in an opportunity to reform the former dictator and help him back into power.

The Iraq War did not end quickly because the U.S. Government specifically the State and Defense Departments did not have a clear exit strategy. Following civil unrest in Iraq as well as increasing attacks on U.S. soldiers and the newly formed Iraqi Government the U.S. Government was unable to withdraw quickly and suffered large casualties and expended hundreds of billions of dollars in resources.
