Just askin' ... How many US troops died AFTER GWB hung the "Mission Accomplished" banner ...

... on the aircraft carrier and pranced around in his jet-fighter-pilot-hero flight-suit costume, complete with codpiece?

And that's after the aircraft carrier sailed in a huge circle for a full day so as to enable the POTUS to be videoed in the best possible cinematic lighting.

How many died after this Karl Rove produced GOPer theater?

that the Republicans make in assuming only US deaths count.

Better to ask, how many people died in the Iraq Occupation since GWB declared Mission Accomplished. Surely we Democrats don't have to be so bigoted as to think we are so much better than Iraqis that they don't even count.
