Endless War in Iraq
Sep 12, 2011
Here we go again.
The military is lobbying to keep U.S. troops in Iraq beyond the December 31, 2011 treaty deadline and the Obama Administration may acquiesce.
The New York Times reported recently that the Pentagon is pressing to have 3,000 – 5,000 troops stay beyond the cut-off date agreed to by the Bush Administration – or more if they can get away with it.
The American military involvement in the Iraq War that started in 2003 has caused almost 4,500 American deaths and over 33,000 wounded -- and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties.
