97% of 4,000 US casualties in Iraq came after 'Mission Accomplished'

At least 97 percent of the deaths occurred after US President George W. Bush announced the end of "major combat" in Iraq on May 1, 2003, as the military became caught between a raging anti-American insurgency and brutal sectarian strife unleashed since the toppling of Saddam.

There was no Alqaeda in Iraq before we illegally invaded it, there was no weapons of mass destruction, and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Cousin Jethro Tangerine, FL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #9 Mar 24, 2008 97% of what this administration has told us about anything has been inaccurate, that's why America is going backward (devolving) rather than going forward (evolving) we have someone somewhat worse than George III running the government right now: George the Wurst

"It's a shame you don't get support from your own country, when all they want you to do is leave Iraq and all these people will have died in vain," he told AFP

Nearly five years after that date it seems we are as deeply entrenched in the war as ever, and there is still no foreseeable end in sight.

Before we speak out or show anything, we'll be sure and ask you if it is American or disrespectful. O.K.? I am becoming more and more convinced of your total ignorance of what America is about. I would be willing to bet you have never read the Constitution or Bill of Rights, and for sure you have never read a history book. If you are comfortable in your ignorance that's fine but don't expect us to placate you.

Miller Murrieta, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #25 Mar 24, 2008 The Military family would love to support the men/women in the uniform and we are not afraid to fight for them at home. It will be shocked when your see two men in uniform walk on your lawn, then tell you BLAHHHH???? Pentagon can block all the media, but people still the way to see to dig the root. Well "Mission Accomplished" for a COMMUNIST Commander In Chief! You destroy America for your own benefit.
