I am not a supporter of Bush but the US/Iraq war is over and has been ever since Saddam was toppled. The casualities of late have been a result of the war that the Iraqis are waging on themselves due to their apparent inability to govern themselves. Your post seems to infer that the massive casualities lately are a direct result of the US campaign when it is Iraqis killing Iraqis.
I suppose you could argue that had we never took down Saddam that none of this would be happening but there was no way the US could afford to wait for any kind of diplomacy or sanctions that a hapless and ineffective UN could impose.
