...Except, of course, for the 50,000 Americans remaining behind.
Total cost (according to icasualties.org) includes 31,882 wounded and 4,733 dead American military personnel. The site apparently retired totals that determined the majority of these casualties happened after President Bush said really stupid things like "Bring them on." (July 3, 2003) -or- standing in front of a big banner declaring MISSION ACCOMPLISHED aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln telling the world, "Major combat missions in Iraq have ended." (May 1, 2003)
What did we all get for such a heavy toll? Well, we know without any doubt (or manufactured hyperbole for that matter) there are not any goddamn Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. And there haven't been for some time now. Their thwarted diabolical dreams of making nuclear powered anthrax-dispersant dirty bombs somehow capable of traveling several thousand miles across the Atlantic and raining down on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States are - did I say thwarted already? I suppose that's a plus...
Saddam is dead, so we can all be thankful that tyranny is forever vanquished from this world. Speaking of Saddam, I think Bush proved who has the bigger cock between the two of them.
I think that's the real legacy of this dumb fucking war: Bush had a bigger peepee. All the rest of it is collateral damage.
