This came in an e-mail yesterday. Thought I'd share.
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/terrorist 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 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 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 moral is high!
The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.

Information is taken from the Encarta Encylopedia.
WWII resulted from the failure of peace efforts from WWI. Early in 1941 Congress approved a measure to lease/lend 7 Billion dollars worth of equipment and resources to allies to avoid sending troops overseas. During this time relations with Japan continued to deteriorate.
On December 11, 1941 GERMANY and Italy declared war on the United States.
Both the Korean war and the Vietnam war were fought on the belief that communism would spread without US and other world involvement.
The UN authorized the use of force/troops in 1994 in BOSNIA. By 1994 over 24,000 UN troops were in Bosnia. 1995 NATO authorized and carried out airstrikes. It is completely incorrect to state that the US entered this situation alone. The Bosian situation ended with the signing of the Dayton Peace Accord in December 1995.
Facts can be spun in any direction...it's important to look beneath the surface and make sure the information you receive represents the entire situation.
Denise; the spread of Communism did seem to stop after each of those engagements, did it not?
I don't think Kerry could claim that as a testimonial.
He didn't lose a limb and we're somehow supposed to think he was less dedicated?
Using that kind of logic, what are you saying about Bush?
From what my husband tells me about his time in Viet Nam -- fighting a war would be no time to get used to dealing with such an injury. It makes a nice story, to be sure, but now you have me imagining five soldiers fighting in Iraq when they should be doing something else. (Well, to be truthful, IMHO all of our soldiers would be better served doing something other than fighting in Iraq).
It sounds like we all need to exhale.
Kerry's m.o. seems to be to make something out of nothing to favor himself and make nothing out of something when referring to Bush.
My daughters both are voting for the first time this year. It's interesting to see them think through all the propaganda and hogwash.
But, we are slapping at gnats swirling around horse sh*t! Kerry has not a chance of winning the presidency. He has no defining character, no moral compass, no ethical gyroscope.
If you'll recall, the issue of service came up in the 2000 election and Bush's team swore that everything had been released regarding his national guard service. He's been saying that for the last 4 years, while documents continue to trickle out.
So if we're going to say the Kerry is disingenuious for not releasing his documents, then the same must be true of Bush.
The bottom line is that none of this really matters. But the special interest groups (from both sides) have done a great job at keeping the issue at the forefront of this election.
