\nto our comments about the death of Iraqi civilians listed by
\nmessage for its entertainment value. It also shows, if nothing else, what sane people are up
\nagainst:<\/P>
\nIn the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two
\ncountries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North
\nKorea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
\nWe lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing
\nanother terrorist attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on!
\n
\ntake Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day
\noperation. We’ve been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took
\nHillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records. It took less time for the 3rd Infantry
\nDivision and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to
\ncall the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick. It took less time to take Iraq than it
\ntook to count the votes in Florida!!!! Our military and the Commander-in-Chief is GREAT! PASS
\nIT ON.<\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
