Over 3.000 Iraqi civilians and 170 of our brave troops have been killed so far this year: 3.000. 170. Over 1.100 of our troops have been wounded. Mr. Speaker. does that sound like normalcy to anyone? It doesnt to me. I cant say it. actually. Iraq cannot be returning to normalcy when over 5 million of its citizens remain refugees. That number equals more than 20 percent of the entire Iraqi population at the beginning of our invasion in the year 2003. Iraq cannot be returning to normalcy when tens of thousands of armed military contractors roam its streets terrifying the people and accountable to no one.
