Today is the 5 year anniversary of President Bush proudly proclaiming an end to major combat operations in Iraq while standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln with a banner in the background stating: Mission Accomplished.

Really now??? If "Mission Accomplished" were a child it would be going into kindergarten in the fall.

According to icasualties.org 139 troops perished before the mission was accomplished, since then and additional 3,923 troops have made the ultimate sacrifice. So 96% of all American Service deaths in Iraq occurred after we were done??? Then what the heck were they doing there?? It's obviously not a safe place to be!!

God, I pray this is over soon.
