Facts

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January..... in the fair city of Detroit (Michigan) there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's one American city folks, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq!

Worst president in history?

The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor.

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.

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 18,333 per year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. I think history might show Eisenhower committed the troops and Kennedy was honoring that commitment.

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 Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

Worst president in history? Come on!

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 Teddy 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!!!!

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us.

On the news today they say they found *another* mass grave in Bosnia. Bang-up job Clinton & the UN did there.

Germany did attack american ships in the Atlantic. Germany declared war on the US before we declared war on them.

"John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962."

Correction

to train the South Vietnamese Army
08 Jun 56 - 1st American adviser was killed on June 08, 1956
5 Sep 56 - President Eisenhower tells a news conference that the French are
"involved in a hopelessly losing war in Indochina"

Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

That statistic is a load of crap. You're not comparing like with like. What you should be comparing is how many policemen were killed in Detroit in January not citizens by other citizens.

If you want to go the other way perhaps you should compare how many Iraqi citizens murdered other Iraqi citizens in the whole of Iraq in January. I'd be willing to bet my left nut that it was way more than 35. Actually I bet there was more than 35 in Bahgdad in any given week, let alone the whole of the country in one month.

What you seem to be suggesting is that Detroit is a more dangerous place, which it patently is not.

Thanks for the ping! This article is a keeper!

Thanks for posting this. I sent it out about 6 months ago (just a little different) to my email list. No bars held. to my known lib friends as well as strong conservatives.

You would NOT believe some of my lib associates (can't say friends anymore) responses.

No discussion on the facts presented... Just electronic yelling about what a warmonger Dubya is, how ashamed they are to be American's, stop sending me your right winged bull sh*t etc....

Typical lib response. We give facts & they give emotional empty rants

Very good article. Like I've been saying, Rummy is, mathematically speaking, the most successful S of D in US history.

Er, very good email. I should have known this wasn't a journalist.

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.

Hitlery never found all the Rose Law Firm billing records. There is evidence of certain odious activities in those that were discovered, but the "smoking gun" was not clear enough for the liberals to see there. (sounds a little like the WMD hunt to this time...)

In fact, I don't think Hitlery and her minions ever found them at all - it was some White House housekeeper...
