US Iraq troop death toll reaches 4000, days after fifth anniversary of the start of war & weeks before the "Mission Accomplished" fifth anniversary.

And that is the military toll, not counting wounded - high because of the body armor and the emergency evacuation and ER methods of today.

AND not counting the Blackwater and other contractor deaths, most of which I think were truck drivers.

Stories online, here, here and here.

It's time for a new commander in chief. I expect those bloggers who are veterans will each have something to say, especially if Iraq veterans.

There were some digital pictures on the web a while back from the early days of the incursion. With digital date stamping on some. Here are three, honoring those who were then at risk.
