John Glenn (DEMOCRAT) said this ----- It should make us all 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 .
When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have started this war,
tell them the following:
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.
This one is a fact that makes me mad as hell.
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. And the Democrats are complaining about how long the war is
taking.
But Wait, There's more.
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.
We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq for less
time than it took Hillary Clinton (DEMOCRAT) 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! The 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 - January 26, 2004)
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.
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 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 DAD'S
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 have the gall to tell ME that those people didn't
have a job?
What about Metzenbaum? 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!
