In 3 years, we've lost less American troops then we did during WWII on a few islands in the South Pacific in a week.
But it's a clusterfuck.

Please, God, let the Rs take this position -- things are going just swimmingly in Iraq.
Yes, American soldiers are not dying as quickly as they did when fighting two world powers in a completely different kind of war. But I wasn't aware that the goal of Bush's Iraq policy was to have a war with a lower casualty rate than WWII, rather than, say, to create a stable and democratic Iraq.
