Mission Accomplished! .....and five years later

We mark the fifth anniversary of that publicity stunt, with the
following:

• April marks the highest death total for US Troops in 2008.


• Over 4061 American fatalities


• Hundreds of thousand Iraq casualties


• Over 300,000 troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with MAJOR PTSD


• Estimates put the war cost at over $3 TRILLION.


• As a direct result of the war, oil and gas prices have skyrocketed, pinching families and pushing our economy toward recession.
