On this, the official end of the Iraq War, it's so vitally important to remember a few things, at least: 1.5 million American soldiers served, 4,487 American Soldiers lost their lives, 32.226 American Soldiers were wounded, $806 billion were spent on it, it was a longer war than WWII or Vietnam, no weapones of mass destruction were ever found--just as the United Nations inspectors were verifying--and it was all based on lies. (Tragically, this doesn't even take into consideration the destruction of the Iraqi country and so many Iraqi lives).
