He's only just now released the long form ... think of what could have been prevented.

You go on and on about some obscure atty but give Zero a pass for lying straight forward to the American people. How long since he told us combat ended in Iraq? +++ April deadliest month for US in Iraq since 2009 Apr 30 08:49 AM US/Eastern Comments (0) Email to a friend Share on Facebook Tweet this A US soldier stands guard during the start of the Lion's Leap Operation, a ... The killing on Friday of an American soldier made April the deadliest month for US forces in Iraq since 2009, according to figures compiled by AFP. The soldier "was killed April 29 while conducting operations in southern Iraq," a US military statement released on Saturday said, without giving further details. The death brought to 11 the number of US troops to have died in Iraq in April, according to an AFP tally based on data compiled by independent website www.icasualties.org. That is the highest monthly toll since November 2009, when 11 soldiers also died, starkly highlighting the risks American soldiers still face even after combat operations were officially declared over last summer. Of the 11 to have died in April, six died in what were described as "non-hostile" incidents. Two were killed as a result of a roadside bomb in Numaniyah, Wasit province, while two others died in separate mortar attacks in Baghdad and Babil provinces. Around 45,000 US soldiers still remain stationed in Iraq, and while they are primarily charged with training and equipping their local counterparts, they can return fire in self-defence and still take part in joint counter-terror operations with Iraqi forces. Friday's death also brings to 4,452 the number of American troops to have died in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein, according to the AFP tally.
