Mission Accomplished?
Four years after President Bush declared "mission accomplished," Americans from all parts of the country continue to bear the burden of the President's flawed Iraq policies. More than 3,300 American servicemen and women have been killed, and more than 24,000 have been wounded. Across the country, veterans are struggling to access the health care they need, and National Guard troops are facing shortfalls in equipment and manpower to respond to domestic emergencies. Extended deployments are causing families in every state to face prolonged separations from their loved ones, and small businesses are struggling as their owners and employees serve multiple tours in Iraq. The President may be comfortable with keeping our troops mired in an open-ended civil war, but Americans are not. Please select a state from the map to view detailed statistics:
