Use <s> and </s> (aka. strikeout) when each of these are done:
- Give full information for references that are currently only links to sources
- More detail about humanitarian projects throughout the conflict by U.S. troops and private organizations.
- Remove as much bias as possible and site sources. One example is in the 5th paragraph from the top which starts with "Some U.S. officials accused..." Which officials? Also, the report cited at the end of that sentence is intended to dispel the myth of Iraq's direct connection (the "smoking gun") to Al-Qaida, but the sentence does not address that the report confirms direct connections between Saddam's regime to other terrorist groups and its perception of the West (namely, America) as its enemy.

I also think it should clarify whether there are still U.S. troops in Iraq and what their purpose is there if they are still occupying parts of Iraq. --Tarzane (talk) 04:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Update/correct civilian casualties. Estimates off by several hundred thousand. Ideally use a source other than a media article.
