Things to make you think a little……

1.There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January…. In the fair city of Chicago 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.
2.When some claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, remember the following…
a.FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us. Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost an average of 112,5000 per year.
b.TRUMAN finished that war and started one with Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,334 per year.
c.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.
d.CLINTON went to war with Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden’s head on a platter three times by the Sudan and did nothing. Osama HAS attacked us on multiple occasions.
3.In the 4 years since terrorists attacked us President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled the 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.
4.The Democrats are complaining about long the war is taking, but…. It took less time to take Iraq that it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.
5.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.
6.It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to detroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick killing a woman.


NOTHING is worse for a soldier than to hear his/her own people denounce the cause they are sworn to fight. If you dont agree with the cause, *whatever it may be* put that energy into SUPPORTING those men and women and giving them a reason to want to come back home. Dont judge them for the things they have done, yes there are those that act on their own accord, but more times than not, they are ONLY doing as they were ordered. Trying their best to avoid becoming a statistic. Go to woundedwarriorproject.org if you truly care about them. Support them. THEY WILL NEED IT. Even the ones that come back healthy physically will still have some problems. No One can see the things they have seen and endured the horrors they have endured and not have mental problems to some degree afterwards.

Yes there are those out there that hate Bush, guess what? There isnt a damn thing you can do about it and HE knows it. This is his last term, he doesnt have to worry about re-election. Fix the things you can.

You make some really good points. Thanks for such an insightful view. Thanks for the website info to. I intend to go there, and I do intend to do something about this, even if it is only a small deed.
