Direct from the bible belt: After three years, Bush leads a failure in Iraq
http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/news/editorial/14288439.htm

Happy anniversary to George W. Bush. March marked the three-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq so, with that in mind, let’s take a look at what King George and his followers have to celebrate:

♦There are approximately 2,300 Americans dead.

♦There are approximately 17,000 Americans wounded.

♦The cost of Bush’s illegal, immoral war is costing American taxpayers 1.5 million per day.

♦The unemployment rate in Iraq is approximately 90 percent.

♦About 60 percent to 80 percent of Iraqis want Americans out of their country.

♦Approximately 42 percent of our own troops aren’t sure of their mission anymore.

♦There are an estimated 25,000 insurgents and 1,000 members of al-Qaida in Iraq.

Americans, do you understand what this means? It means our political and military leaders have lost their focus on the reason we invaded Iraq.

"♦The cost of Bush’s illegal, immoral war is costing American taxpayers 1.5 million per day.
" Try a few BILLION per week. A billion is one thousand million.
