Forget the fake spin of killed in action vs killed in accidents.
3393 have died
They died fighting a dictator who [I admit it] considered himself at war with the US, but had never actually attacked the United States. Of course, when that dictator sits on 40% of the world's oil...then aristocratic families in the White House are bound to come up with any reason to go to war; as long as it gets them their blood money!
3393 Americans will never become doctors and save lives, will never run businesses and feed families that build a nation. They'll never teach subsequent generations, create and share unique art, and they'll never add to American literature or culture again.
They died under a false pretense that they were fighting to free others and open the door to Democracy for those 'oppressed'-I mean really, you canNOT force someone to vote, and if they really wanted Democracy they could have risen up and fought for it like Americans did in the Revolution
3393 Americans are dead because our President needed a war to pull this nation out of the economic toilet!
They fought for each other, they hoped to survive, and everything else...the mom, apple pie, and politics of Saturday night is just BS!
3393 Americans are dead because this nation was attacked by suicidal wackos who got the nation's blood pressure up, and happened to have a 'relationship' with another 'Axis of Evil' power. COME ON! A relationship? There's NO evidence at all of a "COOPERATIONAL RELATIONSHIP" BETWEEN THE TWO!!
We now know from British documents that intelligence before the war was being focused and manipulated to make the case for war almost a year before it started.
3393 Americans are dead! They died on June 6th 1944 Invading France to impose democracy on a people who should have risen up for it themselves, to fight a dictator who never attacked the US but considered himself at war with the US, and who had no cooperational ties to Japan-the nation that DID attack the US.
3393 Americans are dead now

I have wiped my butt with better things that you.
The point I'd like to make is that all the libs are screaming about the 1600+ deaths over two or more years in Iraq. So, in WWII, in ONE DAY, there wre 3393 deaths, ONE DAY, mind you, and in the entire Iraq endeavor, there have been approx 1600 deaths. Libs want wars where no one dies. They are too chicken to knock WWII though (the greatest generation, hard to knock that). Besides WWII was under Roosevelt, a Dem, not as now, where Bush and his war are fair game. The hypocrisy astounds me.
It shouldn't. The libs don't care about anyone dying in Iraq, that's not what it's about. If the Marines went through and cut the throat of every baby in Iraq, the libs would howl but they wouldn't care.
They howl and they scream not because they have some disdain for violence, but because Bush represents to them a stall in creeping socialism. The agenda is, and was in the 1960s during Vietnam, to advance socialism and communism, and that's the only reason they make noise. It's not hypocrisy, it's advancing the agenda.
For those who think this is about war in Iraq, they're wrong. Look at the groups opposed to the war, they all one way or another get tied back to communist organizations.
The war in Iraq is just a means for them to challenge Bush.

I almost hit the switch, but I have many dark and labyrinthine methods for smoking out trolls.
Nicely done, and a good find.
We declared war first on Japan after Pearl Harbour and
because they were allied with Germany we were automatically
at war with Germnany -- later declarations were just
perfunctory rituals.
For those who think this is about war in Iraq, they're wrong.
Well done!
wow, interesting that I didn't post that on this thread-isn't it?
I freely, openly, and confidently challenge anyone to find a single-JUST ONE-speech from Saddam Hussein where he didn't clearly describe that a state of war existed between the US and Iraq from 1991-2003 (c'mon, it's only something the man raved about every day-several times a day-for TWELVE YEARS!).
Not true -- Soviet Russia was not at war with Japan until the day after Hiroshima. We were not at war with Germany until Hitler's declaration.
Better make that closer to 5393, because the maggot who wrote this, failed to count those who were murdered in buildings hit by hijacked airplanes that started this conflagration.
Personally, I'd rather not see one more American son or daughter send overseas.
We have far too many Nukes sitting around doing NOTHING!
....and just how many Americans are alive?
Classic!
I have nothing against Arabs, or any other race of people. My beef is with an unholy religion that advocates the violent conversion or murder of people not of their faith.
The problem that most if not all countries in the middle east have is that they are all Theocracies under the Islamic Banner.
If that is the case, and if it is the policy of that government (which in most cases it is), to export terrorism to the rest of the world, then those governments must be eradicated. It's real simple unfortunately.
Either we eradicate them, or they WILL eradicate us.
There is no middle ground with them and we had better eliminate the middle ground with us, or we will see our public schools, governments etc.. praying by kneeling to the east 5 times a day.
*blush*
Well I'm not too big to admit when I have made a mistake, and I like others, jumped to confusion on this post.
My apologies to Blacktrain, ironic how this plays so similarly to what we are faced with now.
But the premise of the article is wrong. We never declared war on Nazi Germany, they declared war on us 2 days after we were hit by their Allies, the Japs.
Probably one of the more stupid moves Hitler made. There was no reason on earth for him to declare war on us.
(bumped for history's sake)
haha!!! I'm reading the first few comments, and sure enough the knee jerk zot monkeys are out in force!
Embarrasing.

"June 05, 2006
Task Force 145 kills al Qaeda military Emir"
"On Friday, Task Force 145 recieved intelligence on a high level target and conducted a raid near the city of Balad. Upon arriving at the scene a firefight took place, leaving wanted al-Qaida terrorist Hasayn Ali Muzabir dead. A former intelligence officer under Saddam Hussein's regime, Mizabir recently operated as an al Qaeda military Emir in the area around Samarra, and was responsible for facilitating Iraqi and foreign terrorists and provided funding for kidnapping, assassinations and bombings against Iraqi citizens and Iraqi and Coalition forces."
"Authorities suspect that Mizabir took over for Hamadi Tahki, the al Qaeda Emir of Samarra who was killed by coalition forces on 28 April 2006. One additional suspect was detained at the scene near Balad."
NOTICE THIS PART:
"A former intelligence officer under Saddam Hussein's regime, Mizabir recently operated as an al Qaeda military Emir"
Kinda adds to the idea that AQ and the IIS would never work together; no collaborative ties (see also thread IP)

And how many people reading this thread got fooled?
NO ZOT!
A lot
How many moonbats were pumped up until they had to face the comparison?
