Reply #45: We attacked a country that posed no threat to us.

The invasion of Iraq did not disarm Saddam; the UN inspection regimes of he 1990s did.

Seventy percent of Iraqis see Americans as “occupiers” rather than “liberators” and more than half (57%) say that U.S. troops should leave Iraq immediately.

Iraqi unemployment reaches 70%.” Al Jazeera News http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/A66151CB-2105-418B-BFAA-73211A631611.htm, August 1, 2004; “Iraqis Say: ‘US Out Now!’ Antiwar.com, http://www.antiwar.com/cole/?articleid=2440, April 30, 2004


We killed civilian people on a unprecedented scale:
The U.S.-led invasion and subsequent occupation cost Iraq 100,000 lives, more than 30 times the number of Americans that died on September 11, 2001.

“Iraq death toll soared.” BBC News, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3962969.stm

Already over after two years 5000 troops have gone AWOL, some
have sued to challenge the stop loss, others have declared
C.O. status and recruiting becomes more difficult by the day.


10,000 casualties, 1300+ dead

NO more human sacrifices!

Bring the Troops Home NOW!
