Writes Robert Fantina

As of May 1 of 2003, the date Mr. Bush spoke with the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner as his backdrop, nothing worthwhile had been accomplished for Iraq. Saddam Hussein had been overthrown, so if Mr. Bush chooses to see that as his major accomplishment in Iraq, so be it. Today, four years later, there is still no worthwhile accomplishment to which Mr. Bush can point. But while nothing of worth has been accomplished in Iraq, there certainly have been ‘accomplishments.’

• At least two million Iraqi citizens have fled their homes;
• Over 600,000 Iraq citizens have been killed;
• Those remaining have lost regular access to electricity, running water and medical care;
• Hostilities between Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds have escalated to the point that the one peaceful nation is now embroiled in a horrifically bloody civil war.

Not only has Iraq suffered from Mr. Bush’s ‘accomplishments:’

• Over 3,000 Americans are dead; tens of thousands have been seriously injured;
• Hostility toward the U.S. has increased around the world;
• The federal deficit has ballooned to historic proportions;
• Monies needed desperately within the U.S. for such immediate needs as the rebuilding of New Orleans have been squandered.
• American veterans injured in the war have been neglected, abused and ignored in hospitals created, funded and run specifically to meet their needs.
