The US propped Saddam up, supplied chemical weapons for him to use on Iran, withdrew from Gulf War 1 because they wanted Saddam to stay for "stability", starved, bombed and blockaded Iraq for over 10 years still blaming the deaths in the Iran war and the blockade on Saddam and then, attacked Iraq with full force and weaponry, wiping out the Iraqi military and indiscriminately killing and maiming anyone they feel like deeming "dispensible".
All this because they claimed that Iraq posed a threat from weapons of mass destruction. Lacking any evidence they now claim they are liberating the Iraqi people from the regime they propped up and deliberately left in power.
