This president worst in U.S. history? Hardly

To the editor: They are at it again! Liberals claim that President Bush should not have started the Iraqi war. They waste their time grousing about his prosecution of it, while President Bush does something about terrorists. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.

We did not start the war on terror. Bin laden did — on Sept. 11. President Bush just did what any president with any sense and gumption would do. Remember there had already been several attacks in our country which were ignored by our then-leader Clinton. Had something meaningful been done by Clinton perhaps we would never have had 9/11. Because of that non-action we did have 9/11 and fortunately we had a president with some guts who is doing something about it.

Truman (Democrat) was in charge during the war against North Korea, who never attacked us.

Enter Bill Clinton (Democrat), who sent soldiers to war in Bosnia. Did I miss something? Did Bosnia attack us? Did Clinton get U.N. or French consent? Clinton had several chances to get bin Laden.

President George W. Bush (Republican leader) has now liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea, and captured Saddam Hussein. So far we have lost some 600 soldiers. We have not had another terrorist attack on our land.

In addition, the economy isn't nearly as bad as the Democrats like Kennedy, Kerry, Daschle, and others are screaming at the public. I am still trying to forget that great Democrat Jimmy Carter's presidency. He sure scared Iran, didn't he? And talk about the economy during his presidency!

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kerry, who approved the use of force against Saddam Hussein by the Bush administration, but now, as a presidential candidate, claims he cast that vote only because he was deceived, was ready for war on Iraq in November 1997, according to statements he made on a CNN debate show.

Kerry sparred with CNN "Crossfire" co-host John Sununu Nov. 12, 1997, using language that sounded remarkably similar to the rhetoric of the Bush administration six years later – criticizing the United Nations and allies France and Russia for not standing tougher against Iraq.

"The administration is leading." said Kerry. "The administration is making it clear that they don't believe that they even need the U.N. Security Council to sign off on a material breach because the finding of material breach was made by Mr. (Richard) Butler. So furthermore, I think the United States has always reserved the right and will reserve the right to act in its best interests. And clearly it is not just our best interests, it is in the best interests of the world to make it clear to Saddam Hussein that he's not going to get away with a breach of the '91 agreement that he's got to live up to, which is allowing inspections and dismantling his weapons and allowing us to know that he has dismantled his weapons. That's the price he pays for invading Kuwait and starting a war."

Subject: The Worst President?

The Worst President?

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war.
They complain about his prosecution of it.
They point out that Iraq didn't attack the U.S. and we shouldn't have went to war with them.

One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.

Most of these claims come from liberals in the Democratic party.

Being an Independent I decided to take a look at history and see if using that criteria who else could be called the "worst" president.

FDR ( a democrat) led us into World War II against Germany, Italy, and Japan. Neither Germany or Italy ever attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year. That's 1 Democratic President, 4 years and 450,000 American lives.

Harry Truman (a 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 18,333 per year. That's 1 Democratic President, 3 years, and 55,000 American lives.

John F. Kennedy (a democrat) started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.

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

Finally in the 1970's Richard Nixon (a republican) pulled us out of Vietnam.

That's 2 Democratic Presidents, 1 Republican President, 13 years, and 58,000 American lives.

Bill Clinton went to war in Bosnia WITHOUT UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us.

The Clinton administration 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 Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured Saddam Hussein, who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost about 600 soldiers, an average of 200 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home. That's 1 Republican President, 2 1/2 years, and about 600 American lives.

Then the Democrats complained about how long the war on terror is taking, but... It took less time to take Iraq than it TOOK JANET RENO TO TAKE THE BRANCH DAVIDIAN C0MPOUND! 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 LOCATE THE ROSE LAW FIRM RECORDS IN HER OWN OFFICE!

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took TED KENNEDY TO CALL THE POLICE AND GIVE HIMSELF UP AFTER HE HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRUNK AND SANK HIS OLDSMOBILE IN THE CHAPPAQUIDIK RIVER KILLING THE YOUNG LADY WHO WAS HIS PASSENGER!

And Finally...

IT TOOK LESS TIME FOR THE U.S. MILITARY TO TAKE IRAQ THAN IT DID TO COUNT THE VOTES IN FLORIDA IN 2000!!!!

But for some reason the Democrats didn't complain about how long any of that took! Hmmm.....
