I got another email from my friend Ron (thanks, Ron!) and it has some rather interesting facts. I did Google each item and they are all factual. (Caution: Do NOT read if you believe the mainstream media!! You will think these facts are lies!)
Things that make you think a little……..
- There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during January.
- In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January.
- That’s just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq.
When some claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, state the following ..
- FDR…led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
- From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
- Truman…finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us.
- From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,334 per year.
- John F. Kennedy. ..started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
- Johnson…turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
- From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
- Clinton…went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us.
- He was offered Osama bin Laden’s head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing.
- Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the years since terrorists attacked us President Bush has…..liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but:
- It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.
- We’ve been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
- It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chapaquiddick.
- It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!
Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB! The Military morale is high!
The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.
not all military morale is high. there are plenty of men and women, especially National Guard and Reserves, who want to come home. i’m not inclined to hurry them home, but to simply state that military morale is high is too simplistic.
