MORE things the Media won't tell! I particularly like the last few lines! I'm not positive these numbers are precise but if I understand correctly, 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 month of January. That's one American city folks, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq.
Worst president in history?
The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor.
This puts things in perspective:
Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11. Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: ***an 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 18,333 per year. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson turned 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 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.
In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.
Worst president in history? Come on! 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 Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
I always thought he was the U.N. representative from the U.S.

RE: GW - worst President in history ??
Actually,
I think most historians rank Franklin Pierce as the worst President of all time.
Personally, I put Lincoln at the top of the "worst" list. His proclamation was a farce, and he technically had no constitutional rights to proclaim war on the South. As with most Presidents, his motives were purely monetary, as without the South's agricultural industry the fledgling United States would not survive...
For "best President" how can you argue against a man who stated, "Speak softly and carry a big stick..."

Billy Boy has my vote too, anyone that would steal the furniture on the way out the Whitehouse can not possibly have any morals. His wife is no better, unbelievable that NY put her scumball a$$ in the senate.
