Bush, "It's bad in Iraq." A list of problems that *'s war has caused.
Bush, "It's bad in Iraq. Does that help?"

Bad?
So Far:

3,000 Dead Americans
655,000 Dead Iraqis (400,000 to 900,000 range)
44,000 Wounded, injured, and sick American troops 30,000 have needed air
lifted out of Iraq
The U.S. Military seriously damaged
The Louisiana national guard with their amphibious vehicles were in Iraq
which made responding to Katrina impossible
Money for repair and strengthening the New Orleans Levees went to the
Iraq war.
No electricity in Iraq
No Water in Iraq
No Jobs in Iraq
No Schools in many places in Iraq
1,000,000 refugees in Iraq (#1 in refugees in the world)
No WMDs
No Link to 9/11
More terrorists not less
bin Laden still not accounted for
100,000 "Contractors" working in Iraq
Civil War in Iraq
bush ignored all warnings and pre war plans about Iraq
$9 billion lost by Bremer
God knows how much spent by the U.S.
As of 12/7/06 zero the # of Iraqi battalions that can fight alone and for
the central government in Baghdad
and no plan on how to get out.
Iran stronger
Hamas stronger
U.S. reputation soiled world wide
Afghanistan back under Taliban control
I.S.G. report spells out that the whole thing is a disaster
and on a personal note a good friend's son has to go to Iraq
in January as a Hummer driver.

Please add to this list, I am going to send it to my repug Congressperson.
