When some claim that President Bush shouldn’t have started the war in Iraq, they should know:

Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democrat) led the U.S. into World War II. Germany never attacked us; Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost – 112,500 per year.

Harry Truman (Democrat) finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked the U.S. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost – 18,334 per year.

John F. Kennedy (Democrat) started the Vietnam War in 1962. Vietnam never attacked the U.S.

Lyndon Johnson (Democrat) turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost – 5,800 per year.

Clinton (Democrat) went to war in Bosnia. Bosnia never attacked this nation. He was offered Osama bin Laden by Sudan and did nothing. Bin Laden organized attacks on multiple occasions.

In the years since terrorists attacked the nation, 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.

Our commander-in-chief is doing a great job; military morale is high.

The biased media hope the public is too ignorant to realize the facts.

Barack Hussein Obama has never served in the military.

Personally, I think he is objectionable to this country, and he has a lot of people fooled.
