"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."
Since this is the very first post for my blog, I wanted to start off on the right foot. In front of a huge banner reading "Mission Accomplished", Mr. Bush uttered the above statements aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003. With that being said, 1,314 days have now gone by since that premature declaration. The vast majority of casualties among US, UK and Iraqi combatants (as well as Iraqi civilians) have occurred since that May 2003 speech.
