Think Progress has compiled a detailed timeline of our little Iraq adventure.

THREE YEARS OF WAR IN IRAQ: A TIMELINE

Read it... and weep.

By the way, my thoughts on the whole "bring them home now" debate... Many have said that bringing the troops home now would be a disaster. I want them home, but can't disagree with that assertion. We have an obligation to fix our mess there before we leave. But to make it better would require President Bush having a plan. He doesn't. He has slogans, press releases, and wishful thinking. And so are soldiers are basically kicking the sand and hoping not to die. It's a disgrace; the soldiers and Iraqi people deserve better.

I certainly hope for their return sooner rather than later. This war needs to end and end soon and there seems to be no serious effort to faciliate that by those in power.

I also hope for serious accountability for all those who created this mess.
