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 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:
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 three Times 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 anti war
critics are again complaining
about how long the war is taking.
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, 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!

this, thank a teacher.
If you are reading it in English thank a Veteran.
