4,000 Dead for a war that should have never been waged
BREAKING NEWS
MSNBC News Services

BAGHDAD - Four U.S. soldiers were killed by a bomb blast in southern Baghdad late Sunday, raising the death toll for American forces since start of the war to 4,000, according to the Pentagon.

The grim milestone was reached less than a week after the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion to topple former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and coincided with a spate of violence across Iraq on Sunday that left at least 61 people dead.

The attacks included rockets and mortars fired at Baghdad's U.S.-protected Green Zone and a suicide car bomb detonated at an Iraqi army post in the northern city of Mosul.

1. Figure more than a million innocent Iraqis too. Multiply by family, friends
and bush/cheney have given tens of millions of people reason to hate Americans.

We were reasonably safe in the world. We aren't anymore. Our kids, grand kids and probably great-grandkids never will be.

4. Don't forget the 30,000 Americans disabled
and, oh my god what we have done to the Iraqis. Don't forget those who are totally displaced. Fucking American War Machine.
