And, to some, it means we've been in Iraq for five years.
Five years and nearly 40,000 wounded (Pentagon #s) Americans.
Five years and nearly 90,000 Iraqi civilian deaths (Pentagon #s).
Five years and nearly 5,000,000 (35%) Iraqi children are orphans.
Five years and nearly 4,000,000 Iraq refugees.
The most difficult number to grasp is that on March 19th at a cost of $3,000,000,000,000 (the Bush Administration said it would run about $50,000,000....Hey, what's six zeros?) to find 0 weapons of mass destruction (Pentagon #s) and 0 Iraq and Al Quaeda connections (Pentagon #s), we have suffered nearly 4,000 American soldiers' deaths. Not numbers. Men and women.
And on this March 19th, our compassionate conservative president says that it was all necessary.
Later, after his speech, President Bush will dine and sleep well.
Tonight, will you be able to keep your food down?
Will you be able to sleep?
