Hmmmm. The way I remember it is Al Queda declared war on us. They also have attacked us numerous times since 1993 that I know of. It took GWB do something about it.

Germany never attacked us ;...

Strictly speaking, they did declare war on us after we declared that "...a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

I'd say a Declaration of War is comparable to an attack.

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.

True, if there had been 35 cops killed in Detroit during the month. The relevant number for comparison is the total number of people killed in Iraq during January, not the number of Americans.

I don't know what this number is, but it is certainly in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Might be a nice pin up on the bulletin board at Walter Reed.

A lot of people are traitors. That is what I tell myself. I also know that traitors always eventually end up on the serving end. I plan one day to collect my riches.

I would also note that we had 821 deaths in Iraq last year. In Philadelphia, there were 406 homicides. If only 9 of those deaths in Iraq were non-combat, that would mean that twice as many Americans are dying of violence in an American city of 1.5 million than are dying in a war zone inhabited by 25 million people.

Senator Glenn (D-Ohio): "I served 23 years in the United StatesMarine Corps. I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions.

Heck Yeah!


First time Saddam shot at a pilot in the 'no fly zone'

Not really. The talking point against our being there is "3,000 dead troops," not "X number of dead Iraqis." Even if one claims they are concerned with Iraqi dead, their point is hollow because our exit from Iraq would ensure a greater number of Iraqi deaths.

Plus, there's the hypocrisy factor. As Limbaugh asked when he compared our 821 servicemember deaths to Philadelphia's 406 murders, will Arlen Specter hold hearings on why over 400 Americans lost their lives in a city of 1.5 million?

I just think this is a false analogy. There are, what, 125,000 Americans in Iraq? And 25 of them were killed last month, as compared to the same number in a city of almost a million?

Compare things that have some relationship to each other, please. What do Iraq and Detroit have in common except the rough number of Americans killed? At least a good number of those killed in Detroit were themselves criminals killed in criminal disputes. How does this compare to troops killed in combat?

The Press loves to mention that 3,000 Americans have died in Iraq in the past 3 + years.

They don't mention that 30,000 Americans died in Korea in 30 months (2 1/2 years).

10 times as many Americans died under Truman in Korea, as died under Bush in Iraq.

The Dems want to cut and run, because 3,000 Americans died in Iraq in 3 1/2 years.

Truman did not cut and run after 3,000 Americans died in Korea (which was 5 weeks into the Korean conflict)

Someone please ask the Dems if they are embarassed that full wartime censorship was placed on reporters while Truman was president, on January 9, 1951. Reporters were placed under the jurisdiction of the military and were threatened with courtmartial if they broke rules; they had their dispatches screened for demoralizing content; they could not reveal casualties before official publication; they could not criticize the allies' conduct of the Korean war.

It was great of Bush to start it. He just doesn't have a clue as to how to win it and has seemingly morphed into a republican Jimmy Carter.

Peace through superior firepower!
