i dunno if this is a repost but i received it via e-mail yesterday.
I'm gettingtired of all the negative "Bushism's" going around i.e., "it would be nice if Bush could speak one language, etc". I have to admit, I'm not crazy about all the things that Bush and the Republicans are doing(or NOT doing) -- does the border ring a bell?? -- but I think the following is kinda interesting, particularly "a" thru "f", but "g" kinda sums it up.

Things that 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. 75,000 abortions are performed annually, in the State of Texas.
When some claim that President Bush shouldn't
have started this war, remember the following:
a. FDR led us into World War II.
b. Germany never attacked us; ***an did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 112,500 per year.
c. 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.
d John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
e. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost .
an average of 5,800 per year.
f. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us. And Bosnia hasn"™t suffered a combat death in
many years, so why are we still there? Hmmm, Democrats?
Meanwhile, Clinton was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on
multiple occasions.
g. 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.
The Democrats are complaining
about how long the war is taking. (See "śBosnia"ť, paragraph f.)
But Wait...
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 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!
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)

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 "“ and of why many
in government will never understand it.
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've 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 lookthose men, with their mangled bodies,
in the eye, and tell THEM
they didn't hold a job!
"You go with me to the Space Program at NASA
and go, as I have gone, to theWidows and Orphans
of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...
and you look those kids in the eye and tell them
that their DADS didn't hold a job.
"You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in
Arlington National Cemetery, 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 tell me that those people didn't have a job?
What about you?"
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!
If you can read this, thank a teacher!
If you are reading it in English thank a Veteran.

I agree with that statement.
Yea this is a repost - but IMO should be reposted every 90 days as a refresher.
b. Germany never attacked us; ***an did.

actually they had been attacking our shipping lanes in the atlantic with their "wolfpacks", not to mention that THEY DECLARED WAR ON US (shortly after pearl harbor) BEFORE WE DECLARED WAR ON THEM.

Kinda an insult to any combat soldier to compare the danger they are in every day to living in a big city. "combat related killings" somethong 220 died last weekend in Iraq.
Quote:
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.
Korea was a UN action wasn't it?
Quote:
Meanwhile, Clinton was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
times by Sudan and did nothing
was Bin laden wanted by us then?
Quote:
In the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush
has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled
al-Qaida,
might want to check these facts.

This is false and Metzenbaum never actually accused Glen of not holding a job, but the exchange in the debate did swing things for Glenn.

Why is that - good comparison IMO if your look at the figures in Detroit - the how,when where,who is the enemy in Detroit vs Iraq?? Similar comaparison on US soil.Think about it for a moment before you speak.
Something to think about....
