[QUOTE]Originally posted by Veers: [QB] "There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in 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." Deadly for Americans, that is. Since the beginning of the year, how many troops have died? Close to 1,000. Most of them in combat. How many died last month--90 something? "When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have started this war, state the following: FDR led us into World War II." I believe conservatives and Republicans vehemently opposed World War II, because it would be against their "isolationist" viewpoints. Ever read "The Plot Against America?" "Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost. That is an average of 5,800 per year." Between 1961 and 1965 we lost 1,864 soldiers. True, the conflict was still relatively low-level...but that's for four years. "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." Clinton tried to kill bin Laden in 1998 and was roundly condemned by conservatives for "distracting from Monicagate." So we know that until 2001 conservatives believed that we should not retaliate against terrorist attacks. Also, bin Laden only attacked the US twice before 9/11, in the AFrican Embassies (1998) and the USS Cole (2000). Other attacks atrributed to him were not his doing. "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, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people." Crippled al-Qaeda...for God's sake, today, in Amman, Jordan, more than 60 people were killed in suicide bombings! Who is responsible? Probably al-Qaeda. Not to mention attacks in Bali, London, Egypt, Spain, Istanbul, and the list goes on. "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." If you only look at the invasion from the fall to Baghdad.
