Today Mr. Bruns was actually here today because the tennis meet was cancelled so we continued our blog discussion from yesterday. we talked about Saddam Husaine and his life and his execution and we got back into Afghanistan an Iraq. Then we talked about the speech that bush did a couple months after the invasion and how that speech would haunt him for a very long time. This mainly happened because there was a sign in the background saying 'mission accomplished', because it wasn't and more casualty's continued to happen even months after the got Saddam and Bush got a lot of criticism because of his lack of planning. so we also talked about how the US helped Iraq like building up there military. Bush would say we are going to leave Iraq until the job is done which made people upset because they wanted a certain date. We also helped establish a government there too. Then we talked about the difference between Bush and Obama. Bush used difference types of strategies than Obama did. Bush used more efficient while Obama had less casualty's with their strategies. President Obama was never for this Iraq war so in 2008 that benefited him more too because he never thought it should have happened since it took our attention away from the war in Afghanistan. there were 4,400 deaths (US) in Iraq. 100,000 Iraqi deaths. It cost us 800 billion dollars.
