Subject: Worst President? Come on now!!!!!!!!!
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 23:19:28 EDT

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of
January....
in the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of
January.
That's one American city folks, about as deadly as the entire war torn
country
of Iraq.

The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the
editor.

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They
complain
about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the
worst
President in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start
the
war on
terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
From
1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.

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 18,333 per
year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never
attacked
us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000
lives
were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
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.

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 a
terrorist
who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an
average
of
30 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another
terrorist
attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on! Our President is
GREAT!

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 of 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 Teddy Kennedy to call the
police
after
his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick and killed his lady friend!

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in
Florida!!!!

Excuse me! Just a few years ago with Clinton in office gas was above
$2.00
a gallon. Where were you on another planet?

I have NEVER paid over 2.00 gallon. Not ever. I remember it was close
a few
times. Now I'm paying WELL OVER that.

GOOD! I just paid 1.63 here, glad you yankee's are paying thru the nose.

All the wells are pumping full speed around here. Houston is booming.
It's about time the oilfield boomed again. And you ought to see all the
tankers
offloading oil on the ship channel. We have a president that cares about
Texas.

And I got news for you, the price is going to stay were it is for a long
time.


Joe

And **** the rest of the world eh?

Don't assume that the high price of oil is good for us, we import
more oil than anybody. OPEC has us by the collective balls. The only
good thing that may come out of a high oil price is that *maybe* we
may come to our fossil fuel buring senses and develop an energy policy
that is sane and rational and allows us to disentangle ourselves from
the oil producing middle east. At least that is what the tooth fairy
and I hope will happen

I was commenting on the line
"We have a president that cares about Texas"

O and I'm now paying AU$ 4.77/gallon or about US$ 3.35
