It has been just over two years since President Bush –- in commander-in-chief mode -– landed on the USS Lincoln and spoke these words in front of a 'Mission Accomplished' banner: 'Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.' And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country. But the mission was not accomplished, for out of the 1,614 American combat deaths in Iraq, 1,477 occurred after Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' speech. How many more Americans must die before Bush's 'mission' is accomplished?
