More Than 200 US Soldiers Dead in Just 2 Months

That's an astounding number of Iraq casualties, and just note our losses at a time so close to the proposed handover date (which is, in itself, a strange sleight-of-hand manuever designed to allow Mr. Bush to distance himself from the mess, while we still will maintain an incredible amount of control over a country its own people will have little power to alter).

Imagine. Twenty-five percent of our entire casualties occurred a full year after Mr. Bush declared the major warfare over. After this administration strained its collective arms patting itself on the back.

And Bush Administration accountability for any of this? A big, fat zero.
