Sunday marked the second-year-anniversary of President Bush’s Mission Accomplished speech. On May 1, 2003 Bush said “Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.” Since then, nearly 1,600 coalition troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed. Agence France Press is reporting 567 Iraqis were killed last month alone. This marks an increase of almost 50 percent over the number killed in March.
