bush is great. read this and think about it
JOHN GLENN SAID
Things that make you 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, state the following:
1. FDR led us into World War II.
2. Germany never attacked us; Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ...
an average of 112,500 per year.
3. 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.
4.John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in
1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
5. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost ..
an average of 5,800 per year.
6. 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.
7. 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!
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 speech, it is 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 DADS didn't hold a job.
You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand inArlington National Cemetery, where I have more
friends buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch those waving flags.
You stand there, Howard, and you think about this
nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't have a
job?"
(For those who don't remember or know.. During W.W.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing the Communist Party in the USA.)
Now He is a Senator!!
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you are reading it in English thank a Veteran.
(It might not be a bad Idea, to keep this
circulating!! )

Haters hate ,and in turn are hated. I have lived through many presidencies, and remember that each president was criticised and hated by many. Nobody likes the boss, they envy him, wish they had his place, at times even compliment him - - - but they don't like him.
Bush is doing, at least as well as any other character in Washington would do in the ORAL office.

I dont hate him, I just dont like him and his way of spoiling America`s reputation as a country of justice and piece.
Bush is making enemies in all over the world, not to mention that Miss Rice who is almost worse PR to the USA than Mr Bush.
I guess I should just think :"not my problem, I`m european", but I cant. It is becoming our problem too, because EU is practically an allie in the eyes of the rest of the world.

I refuse to hate the leader of our country. He's no good at his job, in fact I'll o as far to say that he is a fool.
But while he is the President, or until his decisions hurt my family personally, I will not hate him.
I just don't like him...
P.S. I LOVE that John Glenn Speech.

George Bush is a imperialistic capitalist aggressor and has no respect for the common worker. He is a slave of corporations and only works for their needs.

He has made many stupid decisions. He went into the Iraq war with no battle plan.
