Why? 10 killings on their "best" day works out to be more than twice the US murder rate. On average, the killings there (pop. 27M) seem to far exceed the number of murders here (pop. 300M).
Or should we gloat about removing a secular dictator and replacing him with a puppet government (hardcore muslim gov't.) apparently full of former terrorists who "rule" over a disfunctional region that once was a nation?
Gloat about all the non-existent weapons of mass destruction we found?
Gloat about the destruction of what was once one of the muslime world's largest Christian communities?
Gloat about the destruction of the iraqi middle class?
Gloat about the up-to 2 million iraqi dead?
Gloat about the 2 million who've fled iraq, or the 2 million internally-displaced?
Gloat about 100s of billions of tax dollars wasted there?
Gloat about 1000s of American dead and 10s or 100s of thousands wounded?
Gloat about being loved so much by the people we liberated that our embassy is a billion-dollar fortress staffed by people who have to be forced to serve there?
Gloat about the fact that after a period of time longer than this nation's participation in WW2 passing since "mission accomplished", we have to maintain an occupying army (soldiers and mercs) of several 100s of thousands just to keep iraq from disintegrating?
Tell you what... you gloat, I'll mourn.
You have the luxury of being misguided. As Daniel Patrick Moynahan once said 'you have the right to your opinion but you do not have the right to your own facts!'
BTW mourn for whom?
Joe,
Take this bullshit, fictitious statistic over to DU where they not only agree with it, but believe it is way too low.
You've been around for 7 years yet can't seem to deal with facts, so you invent your own.
Say hello to my little Pussycat.
So are you merely this ignorant or are you knowing lying? Are you a fool or a fraud?
You and Ron Turd are idiots.
You guys are crazy.
Read the last 5 from the bottom up — and this guy is a physician?
If you really want something to gloat about, do a little research about the innocent people Saddam had murdered. Do you remember the innocent civilians he had gassed?. There is one report that states he had between 70 and 125 people killed a day. It seems you would have been happy for him to remain in power.
