It could safely be said that Iraqis are dying at a faster clip since the American-led invasion and occupation than they did during the last decade of Saddam Hussein's rule.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's been an increase in the number of Iraqis in training, but more Americans are dying and violence is increasing.
Since the election, since the formation of a government, the death in Iraq has increased. The United States stands by, helpless to do anything about it. That's the reality, not George Bush's revisionist history!
At least 23,000 civilians have also died in the Iraqi killing field and the U.S. is stuck in a quagmire.
The Iraqi people are living a long-running tragedy because of the legacy of the old regime, the Americans and their actions that are unsuitable for Iraqi society, and the weakness of national resolve.
The people of Iraq have suffered greatly.
If we are lucky, and George W. Bush is right, we are about to witness the War of the Happy Iraqis.
It's what the Iraqi people are going through right now. They have encountered a victorious, hostile force-but, you know, there they still are. There their culture is, there their history is, they're not going anywhere.
In just three years, Iraq has achieved immense progress. It has had three successful elections in which 80% of their citizens voted, even while being threatened with death.
The Iraqi people are living better lives now than three year ago, no longer living in fear.
During the surge and in the years after the surge, Iraqi forces fought and died for their country at vastly higher numbers than did U.S. and coalition forces. We know that they can fight.
