Good afternoon, Darks.

Have you been busy this afternoon? I'm curious .... what are you whacking today? Trolls or wasps? :)

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January..... in the fair city of Detroit (Michigan) there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's one American city folks, about as deadly as the entire war torn country of Iraq! Worst president in history?

The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor.

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.

FDR 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 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.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. I think history might show Eisenhower committed the troops and Kennedy was honoring that commitment.

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

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.

In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

Worst president in history? Come 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.

We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!

Our military is GREAT! PASS IT ON!!

Has Conspiracy Guy let you know that my company's web nazis have placed a block which now prevents me from posting? I can look, but can't respond. I'm having a tough transition period!!

Hi everyone! I had a break from work and thought I'd stop by and say hi. I hope you are all having a great day.

[OESY]

Good post. I saw it about a month ago, and have forwarded it again.

[OESY]

Hi. Looks like there are many on vacation.

[tuliptree76]

Looks like there are many on vacation.

Hi OESY. It seems pretty quiet on here tonight. I wish I were on vacation.

[Alamo-Girl]

You're quite welcome! I think it is important for you to know that people are enjoying the fruits of your creative efforts.

[JustAmy]

Happy Monkey Day, OESY

I can't believe the day is over and I'm just now getting to this ping.
I was busy today with a lot of boring stuff. ie: laundry; unbirthday cake; etc.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, AG.

Thank you. We enjoy bringing you Amy's Place.

I hope you had a wonderful Day.

ROFLOL .... that's great!

Thank you!!

[JustAmy]

Oh Man!!!

Good evening, (((( Bro ))))

I've had a good but very busy day!!

After breakfast, 2 loads of laundry, starting a stew for lunch, Marissa and I made an unbirthday cake!! After lunch we even lit candles and sang Happy Birthday Dear Noboby.

Next Louie/Max decided he needed at least as much attention as Marissa was receiving. He kept begging to come in. Whenever I let him in, he would sit (without being told) and stare at me hoping for a treat. I may not know how to do the training thingy, I think he has me trained. LOL

I hope you had a wonderful day. Sorry that I didn't spend much time here today.

[JustAmy]

Sorry that I missed you when you stopped by earlier.
Welcome!! .... I hope you stop by again.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks. Meekie.

Good evening, Lori.

Today has been really hectic. I visited the Finest long enough to read your intro. I will get back sometime to read more of the thread.

I've been to Virginia but didn't see very much .... Alexandria, Arlington and Mt Vernon. I hope to get back someday; I would love to see Williamsburg and some of the battlefields.
