On the day George Bush told us the mission was accomplished, only 139 Americans had died there..

But George Bush lied.

And 3,161 died.

From the published transcript of President Bush's speech on aircraft carrier, May 1, 2003:

"The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We have removed an ally of Al Qaeda, and cut off a source of terrorist funding.

"And this much is certain: No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime, because that regime is no more.

"In these 19 months that changed the world, our actions have been focused, and deliberate, and proportionate to the offense. We have not forgotten the victims of September 11th -- the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got."
