Five million Iraqi orphans?

FWIW...
Quote:
Iraq's anti-corruption board revealed on Saturday that there were five million Iraqi orphans as reported by official government statistics, urging the government, parliament, and NGOs to be in constant contact with Iraq's parentless children.
Granted that Iraqi "official government statistics" might not be all that accurate...

Re Five million Iraqi orphans?

Add in quite possibly a million civilians killed, as many injured, and gods know how many displaced.

Mission accomplished?
