I've seen that response several times now. I find it amusing. There is nothing similar about the two, so is it a Lib strategy to try and sway conservative independents to vote for her?

Take a look at the numbers below and then ask why we didn't hear about the service deaths when they passed 1000, 2000 or more in the years previous to our being involved in a war.



As tragic as the loss of any soldier is, consider this: below is a list of deaths of soldiers while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2004:

FIGURES ARE CONFIRMED ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SITE
1980 2,392
1981 2,380
1982 2,319
1983 2,465
1984 1,999
1985 2,252
1986 1,984
1987 1,983
1988 1,819
1989 1,636
1990 1,507
1991 1,787
1992 1,293
1993 1,213
1994 1,075
1995 1,040
1996 974
1997 817
1998 827
1999 796
2000 758
2001 891
2002 999
2003 1,410 534*
2004 1,887 900*
2005 919*
2006 920*

* Figures are Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom fatalities only

Now, are you confused when you look at these figures? I was. Especially when I saw that in 1980, during the reign of President Carter "Nobel Peace Prize" himself, there were 2,392 military fatalities of U.S.soldiers.

What this clearly indicates is that our media and our liberal politicians pick and choose. They choose NOT to present the facts.

Another fact our left media and politicians like to slant is that these brave men and women losing their lives are minorities. The latest U.S. Census shows the following:
European descent (white) 69.12%
Hispanic 12.5%
African American 12.3%
Asian 3.7%
Native American 1.0%
Other 2.6%

Now, the fatalities over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom are:
European descent (white) 74.31%
Hispanic 10.74%
African American 9.67%
Asian 1.81%
Native American 1.09%
Other 2.33%

Hmm.......

Our own USA children are being killed. That's like asking what about the rapist attacking your child. Just get your child to safety. They had a chance to act civilly...they chose not to.....protect your own children.

Each seem to have fulfilled the needed motivation by both!

The Bush administration was looking for a way into controlling the Middle East's oil.

The Jihadists were looking to illustrate further the danger that the United States Corporately owned and run government posed to the economic independence of the oil countries of the Middle East.

Are you happier being fed a line of bulls--t instead of hearing hard truths?

Many Republicans will tell you they won't raise taxes.....but they do G H W Bush "No new Taxes".

Many Democrats will tell you they won't sell out to corporate lobbies ....but we know they ALL do.

How can we really make them accountable?

They will often repeat the lie that France, Germany, Russia etc. all claimed Iraq had WMD before the war.

They did not. They wanted inspections and if those inspections found no WMD, they wanted sanctions against Iraq lifted.

How much better the world would be now, if they had prevailed and Bush had not gotten his war.

Since so many americans want that and so many members of Congress want him to, what's the downside??

Can't Bush do at least something that appeases the people sometimes? Can he at least throw the people a bone every once in while?

It is obvious now that American "intelligence" is not working in Iraq. American mindset is not what is needed in Iraq. I hate to say this, but more and more Iraqis and Americans are dying and going to die in the near future. 142 innocent Iraqis just today Aug. 1st 2007. And the Iraqi coalition government is falling apart.

America should stop pretending they know the answer. They think it is OK to assign inexperience "Leaders" to come up with solutions. I'm sorry America. YOU FAILED BIG TIME. The best thing to do now is admit to your failure and leave Iraq.

SHOULD AMERICA LET GO OF IRAQ NOW OR LATER? I hope in time there will be peace in Iraq.

What is your personal opinion as to who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks

[A] The twin towers were destroyed by two hijacked planes that crashed into the towers. Al Qaeda were responsible for it, they want to terrorize the USA

[B] The twin towers were destroyed by the two planes. Al Qaeda were responsible for it BUT they were instructed by the Bush Administration to do so.

[C1] The twin towers were destroyed by the two planes BUT Al Qaeda were not responsible for it. It was some other terrorist organization who did that.

[C2] The twin towers were destroyed by the two planes BUT Al Qaeda were not responsible for it - only the Bush Administration were wholly responsible for the attacks.

[D] The twin towers were not destroyed by the two planes, but by using powerful time bombs or dynamite hidden in the Towers. Bush Administration were responsible for it.

[E] Any reason other than the above.
