There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during 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 President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, state the following…

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrat, 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, 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 18,334 per year.

John F. Kennedy, Democrat, started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.

Lyndon B. Johnson, Democrat, turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.

William Jefferson 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. Most notably 9/11/2001.

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
• Captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.

The Democrats, and by proxy the American public, 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 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 has done a much better job than you have been lead to believe.
There are many entities and people in this world who hope we are too ignorant to realize the facts.

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Prime Minister John Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation’s mosques.

Many Americans are terrified about speaking the truth when someone else might become offended but I think that there are times when one MUST risk offending others. I completely agree with the sentiments as stated by the Australian PM. This is America and we, just like every other country, have traditions and customs which seem to be slowly eradicated as we become more “politically correct”. We seem in such an all-fired hurry to prove to the world how “enlightened” we are by being the uber “I’m OK, You’re OK So lets go save the world” society that we are turning our own into a soulless, generic version of the proud people we once were.

Here is the text from his speech;

This ‘Letter of Apology’ was written by Lieutenant General Chuck Pitman, US Marine Corps, Retired.

It is the epitome of exactly how I feel in regards to the current world state of things. It’s nice to know that there are others out there who share my convictions.

Enough from me, let’s get to the goods.

I can not claim to know much of anything about former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Being very American, I am guilty of knowing a lot more about people like Brittany, Paris, Lindsay & Kyla Ebbert than about those people in the world who might actually matter. I like to think that is as much the fault of American media as it is my own…but we will save that for another days discussion.

I know she was born in Karachi, the eldest daughter of former Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. I know her father was hung in 1979, vaulting her into a leadership role as the new leader of the Pakistan People’s Party. Forced to spend seven years either in exile or under house arrest, I know she became Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1987. I know that when she was sworn in as Prime Minister in December of 1988, she was not only the first woman ever to head the government of an Islamic State, but also the youngest at only 35 years of age. I know she left her office in 1996 under the weight of accusations about corruption during her reign. I know her fall from grace lead to her living in exile once again in the UK while her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, spent the next eight years in jail until his release in November of 2004. I know she was, in recent years anyway, pro-democracy and anti-terrorism, fighting for stability in her homeland against a powerful and oft invisible enemy. I know she has lost.

I did not know Benazir Bhutto personally and barely knew her as a public figure, but I know she was a mother, a wife and a human being. She lead a life far removed from my own experiences and she obviously has touched many, many lives so I ask the good Lord to have mercy on her soul and those that love her. Her death, regardless of your political orientation, is tragic and senseless. The loss of a mother, a wife or a friend is, I’m sure, no less tragic in Pakistan than it is here in the USA. May time and God heal your wounds.

Benazir Bhutto was 54 years old.
