May Day: Mission Accomplished

Mission Accomplished, May 1, Three Years On

May 1 marks three years since George W. Bush staged his "Mission Accomplished" aircraft landing in San Diego Harbor and "delivered good news to the men and women who fought in the cause of freedom: their mission is complete and major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

As of April 27, at 3:15 p.m. EST - 2,393 US soldiers have been killed in Iraq according to Iraq Coalition Casualty Count.

The count of US wounded is around seven times that number, and Iraqi civilian deaths are officially between 34,000 and 39,000, and actually between 200,000 and 300,000.

There are a couple things you can do to mark the passing of another year of an unclear and unaccomplished mission.

PoliticsTV.com is commemorating the May 1 speech by inviting people to create their own Mission Accomplished speech:

Contact the Sunday and talking head shows and demand they discuss what Bush promised in his May 1 Mission Accomplished speech three years ago and what has happened since then.
