Don't let the facts get in your way......Gee what about the Mission Accomplished banner and Bush saying the war was over?
Funny thing is more American Troops have died since then over in Iraq than before he made his statement.
This is for the people who like to keep a countdown of the war dead. Because there are some who are against the war, that have a morbid fascination with this.

The total military dead in the Iraq war between 2003 and this month stands at about 3,133. This is tragic, as are all deaths due to war, and we are facing a cowardly enemy unlike any other in our past that hides behind innocent citizens. Each death is blazoned in the headlines of newspapers and Internet sites. What is never compared is the number of military deaths during the Clinton administration: 1,245 in 1993; 1,109 in 1994; 1,055 in 1995; 1,008 in 1996. That's 4,417 deaths in peacetime but, of course, who's counting?

4,417 Military deaths during Clinton's non-war administration.

3,133 under Bush during a War.

Hopefully this will give some perspective to those people who like to hype the war dead.
