Bush says war must go on.
"No one would argue that this war has not come at a high cost in lives and treasure, but those costs are necessary when we consider the cost of a strategic victory for our enemies in Iraq."
Really? What have we won, because I'll tell you what's been lost:
-3,983 U.S. soldiers dead. (Another source states 3,992 and was updated just over an hour ago.)
-29,385 U.S. soldiers wounded. (Another source states 29,395.)
-1,189,173 Iraqi deaths.
-4.5 million displaced Iraqis. (That means they're refugees.)
-The war costs $200 million a day. A day. Even if the United States were to withdraw, the war's total cost would still be at least $1 trillion.
I'd also like to point out that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, al Qaeda wasn't there until after America invaded (and, in fact, is not the same al Qaeda associated with the September 11th attacks), and Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the September 11th attacks.
