a milestone i hoped we wouldn’t reach

I’ve been too busy with life to mention the anniversary of the invasion, but I couldn’t let pass the 4,000th soldier to fall.

It’s been two years since my last numbers update, so here are the current tallies:

  • Weapons of Mass Destruction found before invasion: 0
  • Weapons of Mass Destruction declared by US before invasion: LOTS
  • US Cost in dollars: 500,000,000,000 (yes, half a trillion dollars already)
  • US military deaths: 4,000
  • Iraqi civilians killed: 82,000
  • Weapons of Mass Destruction found after invasion: 0
  • U.S. timeline to leave Iraq: NONE
  • Days until the 2008 presidential election: 224

And yes, that last link is a blatant plug for Barack Obama. As was that one. But seriously, how else am I supposed to respond to such depressing numbers?
