Really,
McG, are you attempting to resurrect Bob Dole's canard about "Democrat wars?"

False. Germany
declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941. Germany initiated hostilities against the U.S.
McGentrix's e-mail wrote: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.
Laughably false. Truman did not "start" the Korean War. Although the North Korean invasion was not a direct attack on the U.S. mainland, U.S. troops were actively involved in the fighting from the beginning. Furthermore, Truman received UN backing for the war; Bush, for his part,
promised he would force a vote of the UN Security Council,
"no matter what the whip count," but never followed through.
McGentrix's e-mail wrote: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.
Actually, American involvement in Southeast Asia started in the Truman administration. But it's true that North Vietnam never attacked us -- and this is being held up as an example that we should
follow???
McGentrix's e-mail wrote:Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us.
That's odd: the previous entries all tallied up the casualty statistics of these "Democrat wars." I wonder why the parallelism of this post suddenly stops here. Oh, maybe because there were
no American combat fatalities in the Bosnia operation?
McGentrix's e-mail wrote: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.
I hope everyone is beginning to see the irony here.
McGentrix wants to have a thread decrying "Bush-bashing," yet he can't seem to restrain himself from gratuituous Clinton-bashing. When will you conservatives admit it: Clinton
owns you!
McGentrix's e-mail wrote:In the two 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.
Hmmm, where to begin? Kabul has, perhaps, been liberated; Afghanistan is still up for grabs. The Taliban is certainly not "crushed," and Osama is still on the loose. Bush has not put a single nuclear inspector in Libya, Iran, or North Korea (any nuclear inspectors in those countries are there under the auspices of the IAEA).
McGentrix's e-mail wrote: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!
"Come on?" Isn't that supposed to be "bring it on!"?
Gonna add that one to my list of sigs! :-)
Boy, you sure "zinged" me there! I hope you feel better about yourself for it.
