This was sent to me today. It was intersting info. so I thought to post it here. There could be a few good discussion points contained within......
WHAT SENATOR JOHN GLENN SAID:
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.
When some claim that President Bush shouldn't
have started this war, state the following:
a. FDR led us into World War II.
b. Germany never attacked us ;
Japan 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. Lyndon B. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ..
an average of 5,800 per year.
f. Bill 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.
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.
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 for 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< /B> < I> !
The Military morale is high!
The biased media hopes we are too ignorant
to realize the facts -
But Wait there's more!

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 spee ch, bu t 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.
This IS a typical, though sad, example of what
some who have n ever s erved t hink of the military.
Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn):
"How can you run for Senatewhen you've never held a real job?"
Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
"I served 23 years in the United St ates 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 look those 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 the widows 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 WW.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney repres enting the Communist P arty in the USA. Now he's a Senator!
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you a re rea ding it in English thank a Veteran.
It might not be a bad idea to keep this circulating. God Bless America
