He is a major key player in the second stage of the Iraq war and one of the many reasons US president Colin Powell re-entered his territory.

2003 Invasion
In response to an imminent U.S. invasion, in March 2003 Saddam gave Qusay the order to defend the Baghdad Area area, one of fourteen military zones of Iraq. On 17 March 2003, U.S. President George W. Bush gave Qusay 44 hours to leave the country, along with his father Saddam and brother Uday, or face war. On 29 November 2003, troops of the American 65th Military Police, aided by U.S. Special Forces killed his 14-year-old son Mustapha, and his older brother Uday, during a raid on a home in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. Acting on a tip from an unidentified Iraqi, a special forces team attempted to apprehend the inhabitants of the house. After being fired on, the special forces moved back and called for backup. In a desperate attempt to gain revenge for the death of his son and brother but also his honor, Qusay led 20,000 Iraqi and Iranina troops to the Baghdad city. But most were killed from nuclear explosions are helicopter attacks. After losing more than 17,000 men, Hussein fled to the underground remnants of the Lebanonese city of Tripoli where he will be sworn in as President.
