Iraq War Soon To Pass WWII In Length.

Speaking of the futility of War, from Talk Left I picked up this little tidbit:

• December 7, 1941 through May 8, 1945 (VE-Day) = 1,248 days
• March 19, 2003 (U.S. invasion of Iraq) through Friday, August 18, 2006 = 1,248 days

So, unless the Iraq War ends before Saturday, we will now have been fighting there longer than WWII.
