The 4,000 milestone has been reached in Iraq, meaning, that 4,000 US servicemen have died in this unjust war. The hundred thousand milestone, however, was reached long ago for Iraqis killed in this war. Today, some estimates put the Iraqi death toll at anywhere between 150,000 to one million. Do you remember when Bush had his “Mission Accomplished” flight onto the aircraft carrier off the Persian Gulf’s coast weeks after the start of the war in ’03? What a clown.

I wish people would define what it means for the “mission to be accomplished”, or for the US to be “winning” in Iraq. Often I feel that people just lower the standards of success to things like reducing violence to some level.
The pro-US shiite militia called the Iraqi national police (also known as the Badr Corps) fought the anti US shiite militia of Moqtada Sadr. Things in Iraq are just rosy!
