Iraq: 2003-2008

"How much longer?" read a banner along the president's route to the Pentagon for a speech March 19 marking the five-year anniversary of the war in Iraq—four days before the U.S. combat death toll in Iraq crossed the 4,000 mark.

President Bush acknowledged in the speech that the war has divided the country: "Five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting, whether the fight is worth winning, and whether we can win it," he said. But he reiterated: "The answers are clear to me. Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision, and this is a fight that America can and must win."

At a community college in Fayetteville, N.C., near Fort Bragg, Sen. Barack Obama noted that the war in Iraq had now lasted longer than the Civil War, World War I, and World War II, though it has been fought on a scale far below those conflicts.
