People used to say you couldn't put a measuring stick on absolute failure, well someone has and we have a measuring stick as to how long the current failure in Iraq has taken.
August 15, 2006
We're counting from the day Germany declared war on the US (December 11, 1941) to VE day (May 8, 1945). This is 1244 days. The Invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003 at 21:34 EST when the US began their first air strike on Baghdad.
On August 15, 2006 21:30 EST the United States will have been at war in Iraq longer than it was at war with Germany in World War II.
