Until the US has been in Iraq longer than in World War II

We're counting from the day Germany declared war on the US (December 11, 1941) to VE day (May 8, 1945). This is 1244 days. The Invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003 at 21:34 EST when the US began their first air strike on Baghdad.

On August 15, 2006 21:30 EST the United States will have been at war in Iraq longer than it was at war with Germany in World War II.

Ok, that's enough. Take me back to the main page.

Please note: Several astute readers have pointed out that this page makes no mention of the United State's occupation of Germany following World War II. We are aware that our comparison is largely unfair. We are not attempting to be deceptive, but rather we are trying to make a point and hopefully force people to think about the current state of affairs.
