If PRESIDENT BUSH IS MAN ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT,WHY CAN HE NOT BE MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT WHEN HE KNOW'S HE HAS MADE A BIG BIG MISTAKE The Worst President? Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. They point out that Iraq didn't attack the U.S. and we shouldn't have went to war with them. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Most of these claims come from liberals in the Democratic party. Being an Independent I decided to take a look at history and see if using that criteria who else could be called the "worst" president. FDR ( a democrat) led us into World War II against Germany, Italy, and Japan. Neither Germany or Italy ever attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year. That's 1 Democratic President, 4 years and 450,000 American lives For the record, Germany declared war with the United States immediately after we declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. The vote to declare war on Japan passed the House of Representatives 434 to 1, with the one being a Republican from Montana Harry Truman (a 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 18,333 per year. That's 1 Democratic President, 3 years, and 55,000 American lives. A couple of problems: The "war" is still in progress since no armistice has been signed with North Korea. We have been operating under a cease fire for over 50 years with occasional shooting incidents since. It should also be noted that this was authorized by the United Nations mainly because the representative from the Soviet Union was stupid enough to walk out of the Security Council meeting rather than exercising his veto power to block the resolution authorizing the use of troops. In fact, while Iraq may have had chemical weapons, and missiles that threatened Israel, North Korea admits to having nuclear weapons, and they probably have missiles that could reach the Western United States, as well as Japan and South Korea. Now which is the greater threat? John F. Kennedy (a democrat) started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Lyndon B. Johnson (a democrat) turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year. Finally in the 1970's Richard Nixon (a republican) pulled us out of Vietnam. That's 2 Democratic Presidents, 1 Republican President, 13 years, and 58,000 American lives. Currently, there are only three US Senators who served in Vietnam; Chuck Hagel (R-NE), John McCain (R-AZ), and John Kerry (D-MA). In 2002, one Senator, Max Cleland (D-GA) was called "chicken" and "unpatriotic" by Republicans despite losing three limbs in Vietnam. Apparently this was a good argument since he lost his re-election bid. Bill Clinton went to war in Bosnia WITHOUT UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us. The Clinton administration was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. Number of US combat related fatalities in Bosnia - 0 As for the Sudanese claim of offering to turn over Bin Laden, there is no evidence to support the assertion that Sudan ever offered him to the United States. For a lot more information on this topic, see http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearin...tatement_5.pdf. In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured Sadaam Hussein, who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost about 600 soldiers, an average of 200 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home. That's 1 Republican President, 2 1/2 years, and about 600 American lives. You misspelled Libya. And speaking of Libya, after the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, there was no military retaliation against Quadafi after he murdered hundreds of Americans, the worst terrorist act against the United States until 9/11. Ronald Reagan was president at the time, but George H. W. Bush was coming into office. Both of those were Republicans. Also, there was no retaliation after our Marines were bombed in their barracks in Lebanon. In fact, after our citizens were kidnapped, Col. Oliver North sold Iran, who supported and financed the terrorists, anti-tank missiles in exchange for our hostages. Also, Donald Rumsfeld arranged for Saddam Hussein in 1983 to purchase the raw materials to gas his own people. At the time Kabul fell, the United States had only 750 troops on the ground. It is becoming apparent that the Taliban fled into the hills and are biding their time. There have been several attempts to kill the leader of Pakistan and replace him with a leader hostile to the United States. It is also confirmed that the person responsible for Pakistan developing a nuclear bomb has sold his knowledge to North Korea and who knows else, for which he was pardoned by the government of Pakistan and will never face charges for what he did. It is now becoming obvious that we abandoned the war on Al Quida and the Taliban in lieu of the war on Iraq. This has not only let the Taliban and Al Quida regroup, but unified the Arab world against us. While we never have been popular in the Middle East because of our support of Israel, opinion polls show that our support amongst the Arab population is at its lowest point in history. Our commanders in Iraq now estimate that 10% of the Iraqi security forces we trained are now actively fighting against us, and another 40% have abandoned their posts. As one solder put it, "They apparently didn't get the memo [that the war ended in Iraq]." As for Iraq, we were told, without any doubt, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. It is now apparent that Iraq not only does not have weapons of mass destruction, that they did not have the capability of producing them since 1993. Even President Bush didn't think there was enough evidence to indicate they possessed them. What is worse, and more disturbing, is that those responsible for the failures in Iraq (can anyone reasonably call what is going on there now a success?) have not been fired. Then the Democrats complained about how long the war on terror is taking, but... It took less time to take Iraq than it TOOK JANET RENO TO TAKE THE BRANCH DAVIDIAN C0MPOUND! THAT WAS A 51 DAY OPERATION! Janet Reno wasn't confirmed until the middle of the siege. The raid began with ATF agents, which were and are under the Treasury Department, botched a raid. We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for LESS TIME THAN IT TOOK HILLARY CLINTON TO LOCATE THE ROSE LAW FIRM RECORDS IN HER OWN OFFICE! 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 AND GIVE HIMSELF UP AFTER HE HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRUNK AND SANK HIS OLDSMOBILE IN THE CHAPPAQUIDIK RIVER KILLING THE YOUNG LADY WHO WAS HIS PASSENGER! And Finally... IT TOOK LESS TIME FOR THE U.S. MILITARY TO TAKE IRAQ THAN IT DID TO COUNT THE VOTES IN FLORIDA IN 2000!!!! But for some reason the Democrats didn't complain about how long any of that took! Hmmm..... Nothing like false analogies. By the way, more troops died in the first three weeks in April than in ALL OF THE "MAJOR COMBAT" PHASE OF THE WAR IN IRAQ! I thought that after we captured Saddam Hussein that the insurgency would melt away. It appears it not only has not gone away, but intensified. I don't want to defend Hussein. The world is a better place without him in power. However, I am afraid we may have made a much worse problem, and given Osama Bin Laden his ultimate victory, a war between the United States and the Arab world. Tom Smith |

As another proud liberal democrat and pro-choice father I believe that 43
lied to America to satiate his need to exonerate 41 for his failure to rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein in 1991. Hopefully impeachment will not be necessary and America will vote this Bush out as they did his daddy in 1992. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ Kerry '04 "RTCReferee" wrote in message ...

and you have to be equally proud of 43's wonderful war record with the
National Guard. When asked if he would accept an assignment to Vietnam, he answered "No", which is why both "yes" and "no" are covered. The next question asks "where do you want to be assigned", and had W answered "yes" to the assignment to Vietnam question, this question would not have all of the answers blocked. W answered "no" to Vietnam and asked to be assigned somewhere safe, coward that he is. 600 dead Americans so far, 100 this month, this is the president you want us to re-elect? -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ Kerry '04 "Kevin" wrote in message news:csAhc.172351$gA5.1996354@attbi_s03...
