For Your Information

This weas sent to me via email recently.

The next time a liberal friend of yours wants to argue about the number of U.S.Forces members killed in Iraq and how this war (unrealistically) compares with wars of the past, fill them in with these tidbits of information:

-There were 102 combat related killings in Iraq during December.

-In that same period, there were roughly-based upon preliminary reports-39 murders in Detroit, MI. That's only one U.S. city as opposed to the entire nation (i.e United States v. Iraq or Detroit v. Baghdad) Add those numbers up, and you get the idea of disproporionate "numerology".

When some people claim President Bush shouldn't have started the war, inform them of 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.

-Kennedy...
started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.

-Johnson...
turns 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 consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Usama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. bin Laden has attacked U.S. interests and citizens on multiple occasions.

In the five years since terrorists attacked us
President Bush has...
liberated two countries,
crippled the Taliban and al Qaida,
put nuclear inspectors in Libya (who has since seen what has happened to Saddam Hussein and quit it's clandestine WMD program)Iran and and North Korea without firing a shot,
immunized, fed, and precipitated the education of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani children,
allowed the ascent of women to be put in a position of political power,
and many other good and decent things that the biased left-wing media and Bush-bashers won't let you know.

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 report to the police that his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.

It took less time to take Iraq than it did to count the votes in Florida!!!

PLUS...
take into account that Iraq is rid of an oppressive, murdering dictator.
It has it's first REAL democratically elected government in it's history.

* More American soldiers died during World War II than at Pearl Harbor.
* More people died during WWI than Archdukes killed precipitating that war.
* More people died in the fighting that followed the Confederate shelling of Fort Sumpter than during that attack. Indeed, far more died during that war than the total of African slaves killed by their owners.
* More people died during the Spanish-American War than during the sinking of the Maine.

And so on...
