Things that make you think a little:

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January 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 that President Bush shouldn't started this war, state the following:

A. FDR led us into World War II.

b. Germany never attacked us; Japan did.>From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...an average of 112,500 per year.

c. 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.

d John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.Vietnam never attacked us.

e. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.>From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ..an average of 5,800 per year.

f. 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.

g. 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 Renoto take the Branch Davidian compound.That was a 51-day operation.

We've been looking for evidence for chemical weaponsin Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to findthe Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guardthan 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. But Wait . There's more!

JOHN GLENN (ON THE SENATE FLOOR)Mon,
26 Jan 2004 11:13Some people still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living. This exchange betweenSenators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaumis worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of oneman'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 (speaking to Senator Glenn):"How can you run for Senate when you've never held a real job?"

Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):"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 mycheckbook, 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 and Roger Chaffee...and you look those kids in the eye and tell themthat their DADS didn't hold a job.You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand inArlington 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? 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's a Senator!

If you can read this, thank a teacher.If you are reading it in English thank a Veteran.

I never had a problem with Bush invading Iraq and still don't. My problem is we never had a plan for post war Iraq and still don't. We killed the bear ASAP and then had no idea how to skin the bear. We have been in Iraq since March of 2003, this is April 2006, by my math that's a shade over 3 years and we're still playing firefighter with the terrorist attacks.

MSM is filled with ass kissing boot-lickers and always has been. I wouldn't piss on them to put them out if they were on fire.

I've always supported the military and still do. You don't go into the military to get rich, you go because you want to serve your country and have visions of being a risk taker and a life taker. Many people think that you can spend 30 years in the military and never really had a job or a career and its not just regular people its also many government agencies. These are the same people who would have to change their underwear if they ever heard a shot fired in anger at them.

As for Howard Metzenbaum he was always a Commie and I never voted for him.

The problem I have with Bush is I was promised a Conservative and for his first term he wasn't really that bad. Then as soon as he was elected to his second term he ran up his true colors. Bush is a RINO at best and he and others like him are going to cause the Republican Party to lose control of Congress in November. Bush is pandering to the illegal invaders in this country and giving the people who elected him and his party short-shift. Maybe Bush should have moved to Mexico and been elected as El Presidente down there. NO WAIT WHAT AM I THINKING MEXICO DOESN'T ALLOW FOREIGNERS TO RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE!

Bush and others of his ilk seem to want to give this nation away to foreigners who don't belong in this nation. I've got news for, "Mr. I'm In Charge Here," American voters are in charge in this nation and not the illegals or the politicians. Payback in November is coming if the Fed's don't stop pandering to non-Americans and screwing over American citizens.

Politicians must always remember, "It's not what you've done for us in the past, its what are you going to do for us now that counts." There is no resting on your laurels for politicians or military leaders. One, "Aw shit," wipes out ever, "Atta boy," you ever received!
