The Iraq War, Five Years On
This week marks the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Since then, thousands of lives, both military and civilian, have been lost, and the price tag has reached, by some estimates, the $3 trillion mark. Meanwhile, the demands of the conflict continue to weigh heavily on the United States, both psychologically and politically, and have become a major issue in the presidential campaign. A look at some of the milestones of the war.

Hey, ejm99....you aren't alone on that! It does so upset me when something is printed and then you try to find it and can't! So, Newsweek, I hope that you DO end up supplying a link to the photo gallery AND issue an apology to Jackie Nickerson and those who have TRIED to view the work!
