Much has been made, and I am certain much more will be made of the fact that the US' involvement in Iraq has exceeded the duration of our involvement in WWII.

There will be some comparisons that are not made, though, because it will not fit in to the agenda of the media who is presenting their view, and that of Harry Reid.....

US casualties in WWII were 407,000 military deaths (by comparison 3315 US soldiers have perished in Iraq to date...may they all rest in peace)

Combatants were dressed in military uniforms and easily idnetified as "the enemy," unlike the insurgents from many Muslim thugs who are seeking their selfish marytrdom, at the expense of thousands of innocent civilians of all religions.
