FW: EYE OPENING STASTICS




THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH









MILITARY DEATHS FOR TWENTY YEARS

Bet you didn't know the following! I surely did not..


These are some rather eye-opening facts: Since the start of
the war on terror in Iraq and Afganistan,
the sacrifice has been enormous. In the time period from
the invasion of Ir aq in March 2003 through no
w,
we have lost over 3000 military personnel to enemy action
and accidents. As tragic as the loss of any member
of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following
statistics:

The annual fatalities of military members while actively
serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006:

>>1980 ......... 2,392
>>1981 ......... 2,380
>>1984 .......... 1,999
>>1988 .......... 1,819
&nbs p; >>1989 .......... 1,63

>>1990 ......... 1,508
>>1991 .......... 1,787
>>1992 ..........
1,293----------------------------------------------------
>>1993 ........ 1,213
>>1994 .......... 1,075
>>1995 ....... ....2,465
>>1996 ......... 2,318 8 Clinton years @13,417
deaths
>>1997 .......... 817
&
nbsp; >>1998 ........ 2,252
>>1999 .......... 1,984
-------------------------------------------------
>>2000 ........ 1,983
>>2001 .......... 890
>>2002 ......... 1,007 7 BUSH years @ 9,016 deaths
>>2003 .......... 1,410
>>2004 .......... 1,887
>>2005 ......... 919
&n bsp; >>2006..........  
; 920 ------------------------------------------------------------

If you are confused when you look at these figures...so was
I.

Do these figures mean that the loss from the two latest
conflicts in the Middle East are LESS than
the loss of military personnel during Mr. Clinton 's
presidency; when America wasn't even involved
in a war? And, I was even more confused; when I read that
in 1980, during the reign of President
(Nobel Peace Prize) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US m
ilitary fatalities!

&nbs
p; These figures indicate that many of our Media & Politicians
will pick and choose. They present only
those 'facts' which support their agenda-driven reporting.
Why do so many of them march in lock-step
to twist the truth. Where do so many of them get their
marching-orders for their agenda?

Our Mainstream Print and TV media, and many Politicians like

to slant; that these brave men and women,
who are losing their lives in Iraq, are mostly
minorities! Wrong AGAIN--- just one more m edia lie! The latest

census, of Americans, shows the following distribution of
American citizens, by Race:

>>European descent (White) ...... 69.12%
>>Hispanic ................................ 12.5%
>>Black..................................... 12.3%
>>Asian ...................................... 3.7%
>>Native American ..................... . 1.0%
>>Other ...................................... 2.6%

Now... here are the fatalities by Race; over the past three
years in Iraqi Freedom:


>>European descent (white) ..... 74.31%
>>Hispanic ............................. 10.74%
>>Black ................................... 9.67%
>>Asian ................................. . 1.81%
>>Native American .................... 1.09%
>>Other .................................... . 33%

Research Service, and they may be confirmed by anyone at:

at this report site if you have the chance.)

Now ask you rself these two questions:

1. 'Why does the mainstream Print and TV Media never provide
statistics like these?'

2. 'Why do the mainstream media hate the web as much as they

do?'

You do the Math! These figures don'
t lie ... but, Media-liars figure...and they sway public opinion!
