Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The United States under a Bush administration and the United Kingdom under a Labour government make an odd pair in support of the recent war in Iraq. In particular, it is difficult to see how each government would feel able to mobilise political support for the war in the same ways in their domestic constituencies. One possible way of accounting for this seeming anomaly is that they were not, in fact, mobilising support for the same war. Conventional accounts of international relations would tell us that there was only one 'War against Iraq' in 2003. If, however, we begin from the assumption, increasingly widely held among IR scholars, that objects in international relations, including wars, are produced discursively, then it is possible problematise the assumption of a single war. It is possible, in other words, to inquire into the nature of the War Against Iraq that was declared by the United States and by the United Kingdom, without having to assume that there was only one object: the War Against Iraq. In this paper I will inquire into the nature of the War Against Iraq in the official discourse of the United States and the United Kingdom leading up to the outbreak of hostilities in March 2003. I use metaphoric analysis to discover the object produced in each discourse as the War Against Iraq, and then ask about whether the nature of that object can help to explain the support of such apparently different governments. Finally, I will turn to the problems that have emerged out of a seeming swift victory, to inquire about the connection between the production of the war(s) as discursive objects and the way in which 'victory' unfolded.
