You forget the illegal arms for hostages deal by Reagan;

The help for Kuwait (at that time neither Iraq or Kuwait had attacked us or threated war). Many brave Americans died or are still dying from Gulf War I, plus all the money it cost.

Let''s be sure to include the 1,250,000 innocent Afghani''s and Iraqi''s killed by Bush II as a direct result of his 2 illegal wars, the brave Americans, and 2 plus Trillion for the war, 4 plus Trillion overall in new Debt. Last time I checked, Iraq had neither threatened or attacked us.

When you look at the total dead of Hussein vs, Bush II, Hussein comes out looking like a saint.

We declared war on Japan, but Germany declared war on us, so we had no choice except to fight them. Korea wasn''''t the US vs North Korea, it was a United Nations war that we participated in as part of our responsibility in the UN. Vietnam was an ignorant war to be sure, but Nixon extended it well beyond how long it had to go on for the benefit of the companies making money off from it and is responsible for many of the deaths. Bosnia was a peacekeeping mission that ended a civil war without any American occupation, so it amounted to more of a police action. Lastly Clinton was never offered to have Bin Laden handed over to him. That is a lie.

I simply wish to tell all Americans to be extra careful about distractions coming from the White House and NeoConservatives. Please don''t be idiots again.

Hay SgtRDS,
"Lastly Clinton was never offered to have Bin Laden handed over to him...."

Maybe that was another of Karl Rove''s Smear campaigns when he was in the White House.

Breaking News: Bush privately informed the Kurdish leaders to declare it Independence just like Bush privately told the Kosovos to declare it independence (ever noticed how quickly, almost within 1 minute, the US recognized the Kosovo''s independence). Bush did this to distract Americans from all his failures around the world and here in the US. Remember, there is a critical election this Nov-2008 and Bush wants to do everything he can to help his party keep the white house.

I can''t take credit for this, but I thought it was interesting.


When some claim that President Bush & the Republicans are war mongers & shouldn''t have started this war, think about the following:

FDR (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.

Johnson (DEMOCRAT) turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, OVER 58,000 lives were lost ..
an average of 5,800 per year.

Clinton (DEMOCRAT) 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 since 1973.

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.
