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.
-----------------------------------------
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,
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------
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 .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
