War on Terror Under President Bush the "Most Successful Military Campaign in History"

Gateway Pundit explains and backs it up.

The War on Terror has been an amazing success not only in what has been accomplished but in what it has cost in lives. Two brutal regimes were obliterated, Al-Qaeda was decimated, fledgling democracies were established. But, most importantly, the US was able to do this while sacrificing the fewest number of soldiers monthly than in any other military campaign in US history. In fact, the US today is losing fewer soldiers each month in Iraq and Afghanistan combined than the average number of soldiers lost monthly during the Clinton years (~35 to 78).

Here's how the War on Terror stacks up with other US Wars:




. . . .

In Afghanistan:
The US has suffered 604 fatalities in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda has suffered 12,000 fatalities. 28,700 militant Islamists have been captured.

In Iraq:
The US has suffered 4227 fatalities in Iraqi Freedom. More than 19,429 Al-Qaeda and Islamic militants have been killed. Over 18,900 insurgents have been captured.

Thank you, President George W. Bush.  Thank you and congratulations to America's men and women in uniform and their commanders.  Thank you to all who have supported their mission in one capacity or another.  Thank you to America's allies who have fought side by side with America when history called upon them to do so.

May the blessings of liberty continue in Afghanistan and Iraq and may the light of freedom spread to every still-shadowed, desperate, despotic corner of the world.
