False

Explanation:

Operation Iraqi freedom was the conflict that started in 2003 when the coalition of forces led by the US invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime.

The US troops was withdrawn in 2010 and over 49 countries had active or participant role. George W. Bush wanted to foster democracy in the Middle East and eliminate weapons of mass destruction that Iraq possessed But no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.

Bush had said that establishment of free Iraq in the Middle East will be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution,

Apart from weapons of mass destruction, US claimed that Saddam Hussein had links with the Al-Qaeda, in that sense the invasion was a war on terrorism.
