good reading for
everyone in the USA who listens to the nightly news.
. .
For those of us who spent time in the military,
believe in our military and support the men and women of our military, read
on............. ~ John Glenn
(DEMOCRAT) said this ----- It
should make you think a little:
There were 39 combat related killings in
Iraq in 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
country of Iraq . When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have started this war, state the
following:
FDR (DEMOCRAT) 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 (DEMOCRAT) 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 (DEMOCRAT) started the
Vietnam conflict in
1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson (DEMOCRAT) turned Vietnam into a
quagmire. From 1965-1975, OVER 58,000 lives were lost .. an average of 5,800 per
year. Clinton (DEMOCRAT) 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 since 1973. 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.
And the Democrats are complaining about how long the war is
taking.'PULL OUT!'
says Hillary and Obama!
But Wait, There's more! It took less time to take Iraq than it
took Janet Reno (DEMOCRAT) to take
the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation..
We've been looking for evidence for chemical
weapons in Iraq for less
time than it took Hillary Clinton (DEMOCRAT) 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 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 - January 26, 2004) Some people
still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living. This
exchange between Senators John Glenn
and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading. Not
only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech, but
it's also a good example of one man'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'v e 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 my checkbook, 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
real 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 them that their DAD'S
didn't hold a real job.
You go with me on
Memorial Day and you stand in ArlingtonNationalCemetery, 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 have the gall to tell ME that those people didn't have a ”\Ãw€ë real
job? What about
Metzenbaum?'
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!
