and conflicting to others.
This is posted for information, not to start a long political battle.
Well Worth the READ!!!
WHAT SENATOR 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 here 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. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost .
An average of 5,800 per year.
F. 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
threetimes 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 HARD 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)

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 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 representing the Communist
Party in the USA.
Now he's 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.
Let us live like we are worth the price he paid!

Let us live like we are worth the price they paid!
Let us live like we are worth the price HE paid
