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.

Do 10,000 illegal alien soldiers increase us troops payscale or do so many third world dirt people depress it?

General Powell saaid that winning the air war would be nothing compared to ground combat..But we should of learned that from Nam..I did..
Kind of hard to fight a people whom want to die?
I vote to let all in the Middle East resolve their own troubles..Its been going on for 3000 years...LET THEM ALL..JEWS & ARABS..KILL EACH OTHER..
WE have our own unresolved drama RIGHT HERE?

Thats because we create more and more terrorists there when we make citizens angry for invading THEIR country and killing over 1 million of THEIR family members (not Alqaeda) and continue to occupy THEIR country. 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.

Iria if you love to upset Military members and family than keep posting flaged draped coffins. That is the most disresptfull thing you can do today. Irai could not wait for 4,000. It is like a holiday for you.

The truth has to be shown. You keep closing your eyes if you want to ignore the facts.

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

Do any of you feel any guilt when reading this. Like this part.
"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

You didn't finish school, did you?

Bush said that the "major combat" was over May 1, 2003. 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.

No don't show the tragedy of engaging in a Corporate War. 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.

1-in-7 Iraqis' are now refugees from their own country thanks to bush.

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.

Whenever I am on Casualty Notification and Assistance the biggest challange is the media and protesters. It is my duty to prevent photos of flag draped coffins being taken. Why? Itr is disrepectfull. Case closed. This has little to do with the Bill of Rights. And I am a history buff of sorts so don't point your finger at me.
