Perspective:
Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain out 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: Japan did. From1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
In Berlin on December 8, 1941, Adolf Hitler was elated. "We have ally that has not been defeated in 1500 years!” he told Minister of Propaganda Josef Goebbels. On December 11, 1941, Hitler gave a speech to the Reichstag. Confused and rambling, he compared his own childhood of poverty to that of the wealthy Roosevelt. He declared war on the United States.
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.
...when North Korean troops invaded the South, the Truman administration seized upon the opportunity to defend a noncommunist government from invasion by communist troops.
The Truman Administration did not fabricate the invasion, it actually happened. Unlike like the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" lie we were fed to get our quiescence. Iraq never attacked us.
John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
JFK didn't start the Vietnam Conflict, he joined it, in an effort to avert the very real threat of communist dominance. Iraq never attacked us.
Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Whether the United States should have been in Vietnam for so long, at such a great loss, is certainly debatable but, we weren't there based on a lie. We knew why we were there, even if we didn't agree with it.
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.
United States as part of NATO acted peacekeepers in former Yugoslavia. Iraq never attacked us.
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 30 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on!
Liberated from Saddam, imprisoned by terrorists. The fundamentalist terrorists have been unleashed since last March. IAEA inspectors were kicked out of North Korea last year. Libya's change of status has been achieved through years and years of containment and economic sanctions.Bush can not take credit for Libya.
Your math is very poor. We have lost 600 young men and women in the past year. That's an "average" (as disgusting as it is to speak of their lives in mathematical terms) of 600 per year.
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.
Have we "taken" Iraq. You must not have watched the news since Bush declared an "end thostilitieses". And why is David Koresh always brought up in defense of Bush? Wasn't Timothy McVeigh's revenge for Waco enough for you? (I cannot convey my anguished venom in these mere words)
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.
No one was killed while she was looking.
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.
Let's see, what was Bush doing in 1969....
June 9, 1968:
Bush's student deferment expires.
September 1968:
After basic training, Bush pulls inactive duty to act as gopher on Florida Senator Edward J. Gurney's campaign.
November 1968:
After Gurney wins, Bush is reactivated and transferred to Georgia.
November 1969:
Bush is flown to the White House by President Nixon for a date with daughter Tricia.
December 1969:
Bush transfers to Houston and moves into Chateaux Dijon complex. Laura lives there too, but they don't meet till later.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!
