Beyond the Pale

Today is the two year anniversary of Dick Cheney asserting that the insurgency in Iraq was in its "last throes." In honor of the two year anniversary, here's a flashback to some inane rambling from the one year anniversary:



Since Cheney asserted the insurgency was in its "last throes" 1,799 U.S. soldiers have been killed, roughly half of all (3,468) U.S. fatalities. At least 12,378 U.S. soldiers have been wounded.
