I'm not going political on anyone, but my wife, who BTW, lurks as "hisgirl", e-mailed me this.
From a soldier serving in the U.S.Army in Iraq
comes these pinpoint accurate facts.
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq
during the month of 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 two 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 fo r 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 Chappaquiddick.
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.
Wait, there's more.......................
JOHN GLENN ON THE SENATE FLOOR Date: Mon,
26 Jan 2004 11:13 Some people still don't
understand why military personnel do what they
do for a living. This exchange between Senators
John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is
worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive
impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of
one man's explanation of why men and women in
the armed services do what they do for a living.
This IS a typical, though sad, example of what
some who have never served think of the military.
Senator Metzenbaum to Senator Glenn: "How can
you run for Senate when you've never held a real
job?"
Senator Glenn: "I served 23 years in the United
States Marine Corps. I served through two wars. I
flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-
aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the
space program. It wasn't my checkbook, Howard;
it was my life on the line. It was not a nine-to-five
job, where I took time off to take the daily cash
receipts to the bank. I ask you to go with me ... as I
went the other day... to a veteran's hospital and
look those men - with their mangled bodies - in the
eye, and tell THEM they didn't hold a job! You go
with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as
I have gone, to the widows and orphans of Ed
White, Gus Grissom an d Roger Chaffee... and you
look those kids in the eye and tell them that their
DADS didn't hold a job. You go with me on
Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National
Cemetery, where I have more friends buried than
I'd like to remember, and you watch those waving
flags. You stand there, and you think about this
nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't
have a job? I'll tell you, Howard Metzenbaum; you
should be on your knees every day of your life
thanking God that there were some men
- SOME MEN - who held REAL jobs. And they
required a dedication to a purpose
- and a love of country and a dedication to duty -
that was more important than life itself. And their
self-sacrifice is what made this country possible. I
HAVE held a job, Howard! What about you?"
For those who don't remember - During W.W.II,
Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing
the Communist Party in the USA.
Now he is a Senator!
If you can read this, thank a teacher.... If you are
reading it in English thank a Veteran. It might not
be a bad idea to keep this circulating 'till next
November....
