WHY WE’RE AT WAR IN IRAQ?

When some claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war, state the following:

  • 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 18,334 per year.
  • John F. Kennedy. ..started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us, but 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 ona 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 a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
