From the April 6, 2009 issue of The Nation (p.5):
The cost of the Iraq War: $656 billion in funds allocated.
Documented civilian deaths: 91,121-99,500.
Estimated Iraqi deaths due to U.S. invasion: 1,320,110 (not even Saddam was this murderous).
Iraqi civilians killed in February 2009: 346 (including 11 children--now repeat after me: "The surge is working...the surge is working...the surge is working...").
US Casualties: 4,259 dead, 31,131 wounded in action.
Estimated number of Iraqis displaced since 2003: 5 million (nearly 20% of the total population).
I think old Dick Cheney said in an interview recently that he felt that the Bush Administration had achieved all of its goals in Iraq.
No doubt.
