query: Iraq was attacked in 2003.

pos: Iraq Iraq ( -LSB- ɪˈræk -RSB- , -LSB- ɪˈrɑːk -RSB- , or -LSB- aɪˈræk -RSB- العراق ; عێراق ) , officially known as the Republic of Iraq is a country in Western Asia , bordered by Turkey to the north , Iran to the east , Kuwait to the southeast , Saudi Arabia to the south , Jordan to the southwest , and Syria to the west . The capital , and largest city , is Baghdad . The main ethnic groups are Arabs and Kurds ; others include Assyrians , Turkmen , Shabakis , Yazidis , Armenians , Mandeans , Circassians , and Kawliya . Around 95 % of the country 's 36 million citizens are Muslims , with Christianity , Yarsan , Yezidism , and Mandeanism also present . The official languages of Iraq are Arabic and Kurdish .   Iraq has a coastline measuring 58 km on the northern Persian Gulf and encompasses the Mesopotamian Alluvial Plain , the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range , and the eastern part of the Syrian Desert . Two major rivers , the Tigris and Euphrates , run south through Iraq and into the Shatt al-Arab near the Persian Gulf . These rivers provide Iraq with significant amounts of fertile land .   The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers , historically known as Mesopotamia , is often referred to as the cradle of civilisation . It was here that mankind first began to read , write , create laws , and live in cities under an organised government -- notably Uruk , from which `` Iraq '' is derived . The area has been home to successive civilisations since the 6th millennium BC . Iraq was the centre of the Akkadian , Sumerian , Assyrian , and Babylonian empires . It was also part of the Median , Achaemenid , Hellenistic , Parthian , Sassanid , Roman , Rashidun , Umayyad , Abbasid , Ayyubid , Mongol , Safavid , Afsharid , and Ottoman empires .   Iraq 's modern borders were mostly demarcated in 1920 by the League of Nations when the Ottoman Empire was divided by the Treaty of Sèvres . Iraq was placed under the authority of the United Kingdom as the British Mandate of Mesopotamia . A monarchy was established in 1921 and the Kingdom of Iraq gained independence from Britain in 1932 . In 1958 , the monarchy was overthrown and the Iraqi Republic created . Iraq was controlled by the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party from 1968 until 2003 . After an invasion by the United States and its allies in 2003 , Saddam Hussein 's Ba'ath Party was removed from power and multi-party parliamentary elections were held in 2005 . The American presence in Iraq ended in 2011 , but the Iraqi insurgency continued and intensified as fighters from the Syrian Civil War spilled into the country .

neg: Battle of Al Kut (2003) The Battle of Al Kut was an armed confrontation between elements of the United States military and Iraqi forces during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq .   Before the 2003 invasion , Al Kut was home to an Iraqi airfield and suspected chemical weapons plant , thus making it an important target during the invasion . Al Kut lay in the way of the planned Coalition advanced into Baghdad .   On April 3 , 2003 , the 1st Marine Division reached the outskirts of Al Kut , and broadcast a warning to the Iraqi defenders there , ordering them to surrender by 0700 GMT . The deadline passed with no response , and the US launched their assault on Al Kut .   On April 3 , several US military units advanced into Al Kut , meeting little resistance until they closed in within 1,000 yards of their objectives . At that point , Iraqi soldiers and irregulars opened fire with small arms and RPG 's . Fearing a close-quartered urban battle , the US forces remained on the outskirts of the city , returning fire and killing many defenders . Numerous air strikes , including a B-52 strike , were launched on the Iraqi defenses . Numerous GBU-16 missiles were fired from US warplanes , destroying many Iraqi T-62 tanks , BMPs , and support vehicles .   On the ground , American soldiers were briefly pinned down by gunfire from an Iraqi bunker , where numerous Iraqi infantry had gathered . The gunfire was answered by numerous tank rounds and heavy machine gun fire , and after four hours the bunker 's defenders had been killed , injured , or captured . One US soldier , Corporal Mark Evnin , was killed during the battle when he was mortally wounded by enemy machine gun fire .   In a last attempt to drive off the attackers , Iraqi soldiers attempted to charge the American tanks with small arms and machine guns , but were cut down by American tank fire , and the 1st Marine Division advanced into Al Kut . After capturing the city and its bridges , Al Kut was effectively under US control . Several militants of the Fedayeen Saddam continued to hold out within isolated pockets in the city , but no major Iraqi forces now opposed the American drive into Baghdad .   American losses during the battle numbered at least 1 dead , about a dozen wounded , and 1 ACE truck destroyed . Iraqi losses are unclear , but were described as `` heavy '' , with at least 150 -- 250 killed and nearly a thousand wounded .

neg: Combatants of the Iraq War The combatants of the Iraq War include the Multinational Force in Iraq and armed Iraqi insurgent groups .  Below is a list of armed groups or combatants that participated in the Iraq War of 2003-2011 .

neg: Umm al-Qura Mosque The Umm al-Qura ( `` Mother of All Cities '' ) mosque in Baghdad is the city 's largest place of worship for Sunni Muslims . Originally called the Umm al-Ma ` arik ( `` Mother of All Battles '' ) mosque , it was designed to commemorate Saddam Hussein 's victory in the 1991 Gulf War and was intended to serve as a personal tribute to Saddam himself . It is located in the Sunni-populated al-Adel area of western Baghdad . Costing $ 7.5 million to build , the mosque 's cornerstone was laid on Saddam 's 61st birthday on 28 April 1998 . It was formally completed on 28 April 2001 in time for the ten-year anniversary of the Gulf War .   Although never confirmed by his regime or himself during his lifetime , there has been speculation that it was intended to have been Saddam 's final resting place .   Many architectural features of the mosque and the surrounding complex allude to either Saddam or the war ( or both ) . It has four minarets on its perimeter , each resembling a Kalashnikov rifle barrel and standing 43 m high , marking the 43 days of the Gulf War . Around the dome are another four minarets , each in the shape of a Scud missile on its launchpad standing 37 m high . The dome is set in the middle of a lake in the shape of the Arab world , in which was set a 7.5 m wide mosaic representation of Saddam 's thumbprint with an inset magnified version of his initials , made from gold . The mosque was formerly used to display a Qur ` an written in Saddam 's blood . The 28 fountains of the lake , the four inner minarets and the 37 m height of each minaret together represent the date of Saddam 's birth - 28 April 1937 . The building is constructed from white limestone with blue mosaic decorations , and red , white and black Iraqi flags are painted on the peaks of the inner minarets .   Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq , the mosque was taken over by a Sunni group called the Association of Muslim Scholars . It became a recruiting site and propaganda centre for the early Iraqi insurgency . The association became a de facto Al Qaeda ally ; its leader Harith Suleiman al-Dhari , who operated out of the mosque , is said to have played a key role in mobilizing insurgents during the 2004 fighting in Fallujah , west of Baghdad . In 2007 , the association was expelled by the Sunni Endowment , a quasi-governmental agency responsible for Sunni mosques in Iraq , which took control of Umm al-Qura .   On 28 August 2011 , the mosque was attacked by a suicide bomber during prayers , killing at least 28 people and injuring 30 more . An Iraqi member of parliament was among the dead .

neg: Iraq–Syria relations Iraq -- Syria relations are marked by long-shared cultural and political links , as well as regional rivalry . The two countries took their present form after the Sykes -- Picot Agreement to dismember the Ottoman Empire into British and French spheres of influence after World War I.   Both countries are largely Arab and Muslim , with Kurdish and Christian minorities . Political relations between them have often been hostile . Ever since King Faisal took the Iraqi throne in the early 1920s , Iraqi leaders have dreamed of unifying the two countries . Even during the thaw in Iraqi-Syrian relations during the last years of Saddam Hussein , relations between the two countries were not good . New diplomatic relations established in November 2006 , were heralded as the beginning of an era of close cooperation between Iraq and Syria . Both countries are at war with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant .

neg: Green Zone The Green Zone ( Arabic : المنطقة الخضراء , al-minṭaqah al-ḫaḍrā ' ) is the most common name for the International Zone of Baghdad . It is a 10 km2 area in the Karkh district of central Baghdad , Iraq , that was the governmental center of the Coalition Provisional Authority during the occupation of Iraq after the American-led 2003 invasion and remains the center of the international presence in the city . Its official name beginning under the Iraqi Interim Government is the International Zone , though Green Zone remains the most commonly used term . The contrasting Red Zone refers to parts of Baghdad immediately outside the perimeter , but was also loosely applied to all unsecured areas outside the off-site military posts . Both terms originated as military designations .

neg: Iraq Liberation Act The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional statement of policy stating that `` It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq ... '' It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton , and states that it is the policy of the United States to support democratic movements within Iraq . The Act was cited in October 2002 to argue for the authorization of military force against the Iraqi government .   The bill was sponsored by Representative Benjamin A. Gilman ( Republican , NY-20 ) and co-sponsored by Representative Christopher Cox ( Republican , CA-47 ) . The bill was introduced as on September 29 , 1998 . The House of Representatives passed the bill 360 - 38 on October 5 , and the Senate passed it with unanimous consent two days later . President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act into law on October 31 , 1998 .

neg: The Gamble (book) The Gamble : General David Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq , 2006-2008 is a 2009 book by journalist Thomas E. Ricks about the Iraq War . It covers the 2006-2008 period where his last book Fiasco left off . A primary focus is the Iraq War troop surge of 2007 , along with the ascension to command of Gen. David Petraeus and the change in approach of Gen. Ray Odierno towards the use of counter-insurgency strategies . Ricks believes that the troop surge was successful in reducing violence in Iraq and `` reviv -LSB- ing -RSB- American prospects in the war , '' but that it was a failure based on its initial goal of bringing about a political reconciliation in Iraq .   Ricks states in the first chapter of the book ( page 8 ) :   In revisiting the U.S. approach to the Iraq war , Petraeus found tactical success -- that is , improved security -- but not the clear political breakthrough that would have meant unambiguous strategic success . At the end of the surge , the fundamental political problems facing Iraq were the same ones as when it began . At the end of 2008 , two years into the revamped war , there was no prospect of the fighting ending anytime soon . But it was almost certain that whenever it did end , it would n't be with the victory that the Bush administration continued to describe , of an Iraq that was both a stable democracy and an ally of the United States . Nor was that really the goal anymore , though no one had said so publicly . Under Petraeus , the American goal of transforming Iraq had quietly been scaled down . But even his less ambitious target of sustainable security would remain elusive , with no certainty of reaching it anytime soon .   Ricks also predicted that the US will have combat troops in Iraq until at least 2015 , . The last combat troops left with the war 's end in December 2011 , only to return three years later during the American-led intervention in Iraq ( 2014 -- present ) .   Ricks appeared to promote the book on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on 10 February , 2009 .

neg: Capital punishment in Iraq Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Iraq .   It was commonly used by the government of Saddam Hussein ; and has been since his removal from office . After the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , the U.S. administrator , L. Paul Bremer , suspended capital punishment on June 10 , declaring that `` the former regime used certain provisions of the penal code as a means of oppression , in violation of internationally acknowledged human rights . ''   On August 8 , 2004 , capital punishment was reinstated in Iraq . Iraqi law states that no person over the age of 70 can be executed , despite people like Tariq Aziz , sentenced to death at the age of 74 . There is an automatic right to appeal on all such sentences . Iraqi Law requires execution within 30 days of all legal avenues being exhausted . The last legal step , before the execution proceeds , is for the condemned to be handed a red card . This is completed by an official of the court with details of the judgment and a notice that execution is imminent .   In September 2005 , three murderers were the first people to be executed since the restoration . Then on March 9 , 2006 , an official of Iraq 's Supreme Judicial Council confirmed that Iraqi authorities had executed the first insurgents by hanging .   27 people , including one woman , were executed by the Iraqi government on September 6 , 2006 , for high crimes against civilians .   At least 285 people were sentenced to death in 2008 ; at least 34 were executed . In 2007 , at least 199 people were sentenced to death and 33 executed , in 2006 , at least 65 people were executed . The actual figures could be much higher as there are no available official statistics . ''   There were at least 120 executions in 2009 , overwhelmingly for alleged terrorist offences . More than 900 people , including 17 women , were thought to be at risk of imminent execution in Iraq at the end of 2009 - they had reportedly exhausted all forms of appeal and their death sentences were said to have been ratified by the Presidential Council .   On January 19 , 2012 , 34 people were executed in a single day . Early in October 2013 , 42 people convicted of terrorism charges were hanged over the course of two days . By that date a total of 132 people had been executed in 2013 .   In July 2016 , the Prime minister Haider Al-Abadi ordered the execution of all terrorists condemned in the country following the Baghdad suicide truck bombing which killed over 250 people at a mall in Karrada , Baghdad .

neg: Amiriyah Fallujah Al-Amiriyah ( العامرية al-ʻāmiriyyah ) or Amiriyah Fallujah , also Ameriyah , Amiriyyah , Ameriya , Amiriyat , Ameriyat and the like , is a city in the Fallujah District of Al Anbar province , about 30 km south of the city of Fallujah , in Iraq . Ameriyah residents belong mostly to the Albu Issa subtribe , part of the Dulaim tribe .   The city was named Amiriyah Fallujah after the occupation of Iraq because of huge number of displaced persons from the city of Fallujah , with a total population of 17 thousand people .   During the lead up to the Gulf War in 1990 , several Western hostages were held as a human shield at a suspected ammunition factory in the area from September 1990 until their release 6 December 1990 . These included a crew member from British Airways Flight 149 . Nationals of Britain , Japan and France were held on the site . Only the British were detained until December , the French and Japanese being released in October and November 1990 respectively .  The nature of their internment makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact location , but they were told by their Iraqi minders that they were at `` a factory in Amiriyah ''   During the American war on Iraq the city witnessed violent clashes such as those seen in the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi as well as explosions and car bombs with chlorine , but in the end in 2007 the Anbar police took over on the city .   In 2016 , during the Siege of Fallujah , there was intense fighting in the area between the Iraqi army and ISIL militants . Also several suicide attacks by ISIL were reported .

neg: Lead-up to the Iraq War The lead-up to the Iraq War ( i.e. , the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent hostilities ) began with United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 and subsequent UN weapons inspectors inside Iraq . This period also saw low-level hostilities between Iraq and the United States-led coalition from 1991-2003 .

neg: Iraqi diaspora The Iraqi diaspora refers to native Iraqis who have left for other countries as emigrants or refugees , and is now one of the largest in modern times , being described by the UN as a `` humanitarian crisis '' caused by the 2003 invasion of Iraq and by the ensuing war .

neg: 1941 Iraqi coup d'état The 1941 Iraqi coup d'état ( Arabic : ثورة رشيد عالي الكيلاني ) , also called the Rashid Ali Al-Gaylani coup or the Golden Square coup , was a nationalist and pro-Nazi Coup d'état in Iraq on 1 April 1941 that overthrew the pro-British regime of Regent ` Abd al-Ilah and his Prime Minister Nuri al-Said and installed Rashid Ali al-Gaylani as Prime Minister .   The coup was led by four Iraqi nationalist army generals , known as `` the Golden Square '' , who intended to use the war to press for full Iraqi independence following the limited independence granted in 1932 . To that end , they worked with German intelligence and accepted military assistance from Germany and Italy . The change in government led to a British invasion of Iraq and subsequent occupation until 1947 .

neg: Role of Georgia in the Iraq War Georgia joined the Iraq war as part of the United States-led coalition in August 2003 . By 2008 , Georgia had deployed 2,300 troops in Iraq , becoming the third largest contributor to the coalition forces in the Iraq War . In addition , the country provided a battalion of approximately 550 troops to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq . All Georgian troops were withdrawn from Iraq amid the Russia -- Georgia war in August 2008 . Georgia suffered five fatal casualties in Iraq .

neg: Multi-National Corps – Iraq Multi-National Corps -- Iraq ( MNC-I ) was a formerly multinational , later U.S. only , army corps created on 15 May 2004 , fighting the Iraq War . Its superior body , the Multi-National Force-Iraq ( MNF-I ) had replaced Combined Joint Task Force 7 on May 15 , 2004 . The change was made due to `` concerns that had existed for some period of time , that the Combined Joint Task Force 7 headquarters was not sufficient to handle the range of military operations in Iraq , including peace support , civil military operations , and at the same time conduct strategic engagement such as talking to the sheiks and talking to the political authorities . ''   Multi-National Force-Iraq was established to handle strategic level issues while Multi-National Corps -- Iraq , a subordinate command , directed the tactical battle . A number of US Army corps headquarters have rotated into Iraq to provide the MNC-I headquarters . Also created under MNF-I was the Multi-National Security Transition Command - Iraq ( MNSTC-I ) , which primarily directed the reconstruction of Iraqi security forces . With the planned drawdown of US forces from Iraq per the Status of Forces Agreement and President Barack Obama 's announced timeline , Multi-National Corps -- Iraq merged back into its parent command of MNF-I , which was renamed United States Force - Iraq ( USF-I ) following the withdrawal of all remaining coalition partners from the country .   In 2005 , the 1st Corps Support Command based at Logistics Support Area Anaconda at Balad , Iraq , was providing theatre logistics support .

neg: United Nations Security Council Resolution 1454 United Nations Security Council resolution 1454 , adopted on 30 December 2002 , after recalling all previous resolutions on Iraq , including resolutions 661 ( 1991 ) , 986 ( 1995 ) , 1284 ( 1999 ) , 1352 ( 2001 ) , 1360 ( 2001 ) , 1382 ( 2001 ) , 1409 ( 2002 ) and 1447 ( 2002 ) concerning the Oil-for-Food Programme , the Council adjusted the list of restricted goods ( Goods Review List ) and procedures for its implementation under the Oil-for-Food Programme . It was the final Security Council resolution adopted in 2002 .   The Security Council was convinced of the need for a temporary measure to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people until the Iraqi government fulfilled the provisions of Resolution 687 ( 1991 ) and 1284 , and had distributed aid throughout the country equally . It reaffirmed the commitment of all states to Iraq 's sovereignty and territorial integrity , its determination to improve the humanitarian situation and pledge to adjust the Goods Review List .   Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter , the Council adjusted the Goods Review List and procedures for its implementation . More than 50 items were added to the Goods Review List . It would conduct a review of the measures within 90 days and before the end of the current extension of the Oil-for-Food Programme , while the Committee established in Resolution 661 was also requested to conduct reviews . The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was instructed to develop consumption rates and use levels for chemicals and medications specified in the annexes of the resolution within 60 days . Finally , the resolution appealed to all states to co-operate in the timely submission of technically complete applications and the issuing of export licences .   Resolution 1454 was adopted by 13 votes to none against and two abstentions from Russia and Syria . Russia opposed the `` restrictive '' nature of the text while Syria noted that Iraq had begun complying with weapons inspections and regretted that the speed of negotiations resulting in the adoption of the current resolution did not allow enough time for examining the list .

neg: 2003 in Iraq The following lists events in the year 2003 in Iraq .

neg: Iraqi Armed Forces The Iraqi Armed Forces are the military forces of the Iraqi government . They consist of the Iraqi Army , the Iraqi Air Force , and the Iraqi Navy .   They were initially formed in the early 1920s . Six military Coup d'états were mounted by the Army between 1936 and 1941 . The armed forces first saw combat in the Anglo-Iraqi War of 1941 . They fought against Israel in the 1948 Arab -- Israeli War , in the 1967 Six Day War , and in the 1973 Yom Kippur War . Two wars with the Kurds were fought in 1961 -- 70 and 1974 -- 75 . A much larger conflict was the Iran -- Iraq War , initiated by the Iraqis in 1980 , which continued until 1988 . Thereafter Iraq began the Invasion of Kuwait , which led to the Persian Gulf War of 1991 , which led in turn to confrontations over the Iraqi no-fly zones during the 1990s , and finally the Iraq War of 2003 . The Iraqi armed forces have had mixed success at the strategic level but consistently poor tactical performance during most of their history . Iraq had one of the largest and strongest militaries in the world in 1990 , before the Persian Gulf War of 1991 .   The armed forces are administered by the Ministry of Defence ( MOD ) . Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq , which toppled the Saddam Hussein regime , the Iraqi Armed Forces have been rebuilt with substantial assistance from the United States Armed Forces . Since the implementation of the U.S.-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement on January 1 , 2009 , the Iraqi Armed Forces and the forces of the Interior Ministry are responsible for providing security and upholding law and order throughout Iraq .   The Iraqi Army , in particular , is one of the most trusted national institutions of Iraq . Iraqi Armed Forces deficiencies have been identified in enabling functions , such as , e.g. , logistics and military intelligence . In high-end conventional operations , Iraqi capabilities are currently limited by lack of artillery and air power . There are also concerns regarding corruption and sectarian agendas within the force .

neg: Hood event The Hood event ( Çuval Olayı ) was an incident on July 4 , 2003 following the 2003 invasion of Iraq where a group of Turkish military personnel operating in northern Iraq were captured , led away with hoods over their heads , and interrogated by the United States military . American soldiers seized 15kg of explosives , sniper rifles , grenades and maps of Kirkuk , with circles drawn around positions near the governor 's building when they raided Turkish offices in Sulaimaniya . The soldiers were released after sixty hours , after Turkey protested to the United States . A Kurdish intelligence official claimed that the Turkish soldiers had been linked to a plot to assassinate the newly elected governor of Kirkuk to destabilise the region so that Turkish forces would be needed to restore order .   Though neither side ever apologized , a US-Turkish commission set up to investigate the incident later issued a joint statement of regret . In addition , US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld wrote a letter to the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressing sorrow over the incident . The Hood event damaged diplomatic relations between Turkey and the United States and marked a low point in US-Turkish relations . While the incident received comparatively little coverage in the United States , it was a major event in Turkey , many of whose citizens saw it as a deliberate insult and nicknamed it `` The Hood event '' .

In addition there are other versions of the game that run on Scramble , Jeutel , Orca , and Alca hardware . The official versions of game came in two different stand up cabinets that featured a large and angry , rather than comic , ape embedded in the artwork . The cabinets were created by Zaccaria .

neg: The Gnome-Mobile The Gnome-Mobile is a 1967 Walt Disney Productions comedy-fantasy film directed by Robert Stevenson . It was one of the last films personally produced by Walt Disney . It was based on a 1936 book by Upton Sinclair titled The Gnomobile .   Walter Brennan plays a dual role as D.J. Mulrooney , the kind-hearted lumber tycoon of Irish descent ; and as the irascible 943-year-old gnome Knobby . The children , Elizabeth and Rodney , were played by Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber , familiar from their roles as Jane and Michael Banks in Mary Poppins . Tom Lowell who plays the young gnome Jasper in this movie , also appeared in the 1965 Disney film That Darn Cat ! as Canoe , the befuddled surfer boyfriend of Hayley Mills . The Gnome-Mobile was both Matthew Garber and Ed Wynn 's last movie role . Wynn died of throat cancer before the movie was released and Garber died ten years later , having contracted hepatitis while visiting India . Richard and Robert Sherman contributed the song `` Gnome Mobile . ''   The Gnome-Mobile was re-released theatrically on November 5 , 1976 .

neg: Wild Mouse roller coaster A Wild Mouse roller coaster ( also Mad Mouse or Crazy Mouse ) is a type of roller coaster characterised by small cars that seat four people or fewer and ride on top of the track , taking tight , flat turns ( without banking ) at modest speeds , yet producing high lateral G-forces . The track work is characterised by many turns and bunny hops , the latter producing abrupt negative vertical G forces . When approaching a turn from a straight section the intended impression is that one will simply continue straight , and thus plunge off of the device , this since there are no transition sections as are in a conventional high speed coaster track and the turn itself is obscured upon close approach . Almost all Wild Mice feature `` switchback '' sections , consisting of several of these unbanked turns , separated by straight sections . Usually the turns on the switchback section are 180 ° , but some coasters feature 90 ° turns as well as more rarely steep runs with loops ( for example Crazy Mouse at Tobu Zoo in Japan , which is no longer operating ) . Some riders , usually among taller people , report sustaining whiplash after being subjected to these turns .   The feeling of a Wild Mouse coaster is amplified by using cars that are wider than the track itself , giving the impression that the riders are hanging off the side or that they might fly out , thus giving it the name `` wild '' .   Some may include trick-track -- a `` straight '' piece of track banked slightly side to side designed to throw the rider left to right . Some wild mouse coasters , such as Primeval Whirl , also have spinning cars .   The modern Wild Mouse was invented by German designer Franz Mack . In the original wooden Wild Mouse coasters of the 1960s and 1970s , the cars were so small that they could only fit two adults in close contact . While the low capacity of these rides led to long lines , the cars were small by design .   Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the Wild Mouse type coaster was nearly extinct . However , beginning in the mid-1990s , Wild Mouse-style rides made a comeback for two reasons : First , they were cheaper than larger , conventional coasters ; second , they added to a park 's `` coaster count '' with minimal impact on cost and square footage .

neg: The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series , a.k.a. . The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series or The Wally Gator Show , was a syndicated television package of animated cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions , starting in 1962 . The series included three unrelated short cartoon segments featuring funny animal characters :   Wally Gator  Touché Turtle and Dum Dum  Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har   The package consisted of Fifty-two episodes , each with three individual segments and no bridge animation . Each individual cartoon segment , had its own opening theme and closing title .   The title The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon series was an off-screen promotional title to distinguish this package from other Hanna-Barbera cartoons ( such as Ruff and Reddy , Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear all of which had bridge animation between the cartoons . ) available at the time . For example , WGN-Channel 9 in Chicago ran the three segments in a half-hour timeslot under the name Wally Gator . In New York , WPIX-TV originally used the segments for a local series , Cartoon Zoo , featuring Milt Moss as host and `` Zookeeper '' , with life-sized cutouts of the characters in `` cages '' as a backdrop .   The package was originally syndicated by Screen Gems , the TV division of Columbia Pictures .

neg: Donald Duck universe The Donald Duck universe is a fictional shared universe which is the setting of stories involving Disney cartoon character Donald Duck , as well as Daisy Duck , Huey , Dewey , and Louie , Scrooge McDuck , and many other characters . The world is a part of the Mickey Mouse universe , but is more detailed . Life in the Donald Duck universe centers on the city of Duckburg , usually located in the fictional U.S. state of Calisota , analogous to Northern California . The world also incorporates several other real and fictional locations , as well as historical figures and a fictional timeline , which is followed with varying degrees of consistency .   Disney comics are the primary medium for Donald Duck stories . Contributors include Americans Carl Barks , Ted Osborne , Don Rosa , Tony Strobl , Al Taliaferro , and William Van Horn , as well as Italians Giovan Battista Carpi , Marco Rota , and Romano Scarpa . Other media includes short films in the Donald Duck series , children 's books such as Little Big Books and Little Golden Books , television series such as DuckTales ( 1987 -- 1990 ) and Darkwing Duck ( 1991 -- 1992 ) , and video games such as QuackShot ( 1991 ) , Goin ' Quackers ( 2000 ) , and DuckTales : Remastered ( 2013 ) .   `` Donald Duck universe '' is not an official Disney term , but is sometimes used by fans . Don Rosa has also used the terms Barks Universe and Italian Duck Universe to describe different versions of the world 's continuity . The terms `` Barksian '' or `` Barksian facts '' has also been used to describe the canon of the Donald Duck universe , as many comic book creators and fans only consider the stories by Carl Barks as factual , since he is the creator of many of its major characters , locations and ideas . Don Rosa is an example of this when creating his comic book series The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck , with most of his stories being based on the works by Barks . Additionally , the stories by Al Taliaferro and Ted Osborne are also considered canon by many fans , being that they are the creators of Huey , Dewey and Louie and Grandma Duck , and part of their work precedes Barks ' work .

It stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as `` Joliet '' Jake and Elwood Blues , characters developed from `` The Blues Brothers '' musical sketch on the NBC variety series Saturday Night Live . The film 's screenplay was written by Aykroyd and Landis . It features musical numbers by rhythm and blues ( R&B ) , soul , and blues singers James Brown , Cab Calloway , Aretha Franklin , Ray Charles , and John Lee Hooker . The film is set in and around Chicago , Illinois , where it was filmed . It features non-musical supporting performances by John Candy , Carrie Fisher , Charles Napier , and Henry Gibson .   The story is a tale of redeem for paroled convict Jake and his brother Elwood , who set out on `` a mission from God '' to save from foreclosure the Catholic orphanage in which they were raised . To do so , they must reunite their R&B band and organize a performance to earn $ 5,000 needed to pay the orphanage 's property tax bill . Along the way , they are targeted by a destructive `` mystery woman '' , Neo-Nazis , and a country and western band -- all while being relentlessly pursued by the police .   Universal Studios , which had won the bidding war for the film , was hoping to take advantage of Belushi 's popularity in the wake of Saturday Night Live , Animal House , and the Blues Brothers ' musical success ; it soon found itself unable to control production costs . The start of filming was delayed when Aykroyd , new to film screenwriting , took six months to deliver a long and unconventional script that Landis had to rewrite before production , which began without a final budget . On location in Chicago , Belushi 's partying and drug use caused lengthy and costly delays that , along with the destructive car chases depicted onscreen , made the final film one of the most expensive comedies ever produced .   Concerns that the film would fail limited its initial bookings to less than half those a film of its magnitude normally received . Released in the United States on June 20 , 1980 , it received mostly positive reviews . It earned just under $ 5 million in its opening weekend and went on to gross over $ 115 million in theaters worldwide before its release on home video . It has become a cult classic , spawning the sequel , Blues Brothers 2000 , 18 years later , which was a critical and commercial failure .

The series was directed by Marion Sarraut , who had already successfully brought on TV another of Madame Benzoni 's work - Marianne . The director had the author 's assistance going so far as working together , like mother and daughter , to work on the best-seller Catherine . Two years of preparation , fifteen months of shooting , two hundred actors - over fifteen hundred costumes . The episodes were not to be seen in prime time - but from 13:30 - 14:00 each afternoon . The production was nevertheless a huge success . The readers of the books were more than satisfied with what Marion Sarraut had done to Catherine . To their great joy , the producers had adapted the seven books more or less truthfully . Some minor changes had to be made , probably also because of the small bugdet they had at their disposal . Claudine Ancelot was a perfect Catherine . At her side , Pierre-Marie Escourrou as her great love Arnaud de Montsalvy . Pascale Petit was Sara , Benoît Brione was the evil Gilles de Rais , and Geneviève Casile Queen Yolande .   For over two decades , the story of `` Catherine and Arnaud '' had vanished . In December 2007 the French company France Loisirs started releasing the long awaited Catherine Il suffit d'un amour TV-Serie on DVD . At the moment the whole TV series has been released on 5 double DVDs .
