Five Years
Five years ago we invaded Iraq. So, how'd that turn out?
More than 4000 Americans have been killed, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians are dead. We found no WMD, and al Qaeda only showed up after the fact. We've made a $600 billion down payment on what will end up being a couple of trillion. Millions of Iraqis are now refugees. Baghdad has been ethnically cleansed. We've abandoned our allies, and turned world opinion against us. We've become torturers. The number of terrorists has gone up while our national security has gone down.
And today Bush lectures us to have more patience, what with things going so well an all. Sorry, but I'm all out.
