the New World Order is far, far from dead.
the numbers of US dead are reliable; but there is no verifiable reliable number of “Iraqi citizens” killed, and certainly the US tried at the risk of losing Americans and Allies to avoid harm or death to the Iraqi people.
3.the CBO total for the 8 years Iraq War is $709 Billion…for the entire 8 years. But Congress and Obama spent $862 Billion in one stimulus bill in February 2009…..
4.it was not about oil, it was about an Iraqi dictator who was a danger to the Iraqi people and Bush/Blair led a coalition of 30 nations to LIBERATE 25 million Iraqi people.
5.many Iraqi local leaders are telling the US representatives that they want our combat troops to stay…they know they are not ready to defend Iraq from Iran or Jihadists….
You’re right dt, numbers of the folks we’ve killed will always be underestimated, just like in ‘Nam when they decided “body counts” should be done away with.
It WAS about oil, and the real cost is already well over $3 Trillion. Figures can lie and Repubtards have been doing the “figuring”.
He was the son of a Bush.
This all started with Gulf War one, in hindsight, replacing a petty foreign dictator (Saddam in Kuwait) with local tyrants did not in any way help democracy, especially since it started Islamic Terrorism as we know it today.
No blood for oil!

The statistic on Iraqi civilian deaths is severalfold too low. Also, the casualty of the USA as a guiding light of freedom is missing from the sign.
