5. and the winner is?
From one of my caring, tolerant, and lovely repug friends....




Interesting Facts about Iraq War vs. Other Wars

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 monthof January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq.

how many police officers were killed in Detroit in January?

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.

germany declared war on us

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.

and what did we get out of that war?

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

what did we get out of that war?

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

what did we get out of that war

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.

how many US Soliders died in Bosnia? zero.
Clinton was never offered Osama.
and Bush did nothing in the first nine months of his presidency

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.

Then why are afganistan elecitons being postponed? how did al-qaida "influence" the spanish elections? why are more people being killed by terrorists this year that in the last dozen or so? NK kicked out the Nuke inspectors in BUSHES presidency, Libya is plotting assaination of middle eastern leaders.

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.

the war is over?

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.

not anymore. and still none found

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.

the war is over?

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes inFlorida!!!!

the war is over?
