Some Interesting War Statistics

Combining the homicide statistics from three major American cities in 2003: Chicago, New York and LA; there were close to 1700 murders (1695 to be exact)----IN JUST 1 YEAR.  Compare that to just over 3000 combat related killings in Iraq during the entire 4 YEAR WAR !!!!!!  And don't forget about New York City's bloodiest year with nearly 2250 murders in just the year of 1990 ALONE!
 

That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn
country of Iraq. When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have
started this war, state the following:

A) FDR led us into World War II. 

B) Germany never attacked us ; Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were
    lost .. an average of 112,500 per year.

C) 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 18,334 per year.

D) John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.

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

F) 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.

G) In the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries,    

    crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaeda, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran,

    and, North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered

    500,000+ of his own people.

 

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking. BUT WAIT!!! There's More...

 

    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 for 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 Ted 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!!!!
