Orders from Military to Our Soldiers....Must Read...
How to Contradict Democrats....Fight for Bush...Learn these facts before election time!!!

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January...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.

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.

Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. Vietnam never attacked us.
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 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 a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...
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 of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find her 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, drowning Mary Jo.

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in
Florida!!!! Our Commander-In-Chief is ! doing a GREAT JOB!

The Military moral is high! The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.

PASS IT ON. If you can read this thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English thank a soldier or a sailor.

-----------------------------------
Well, it's not enough that our boys must spill their blood for bush, they must also spread his vile lies. Want to hear some comments from DU friends.

4. Claims refuted to death here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=1999106

How can it be proven that the US military "officially" sent this to its soldiers?

11. No kidding
I sincerely doubt this is being circulated by the US Military. It may be being passed around among members of the military, but it really just looks like some think-tank talking points crapola.

7. A soldier sent this to me.....
I didn't make this up. I just wanted you to read it and be aware of how bush abuses our soldiers....he's a desperate bastard.

This message must be going around, bigtime. Some of my relatives and neighbors have been repeating exactly the same things....well, at least 300 kids die in school buses a year....so kids in Iraq die...it's war...what you do expect...

I didn't know you guys read this before. I didn't see it on DU.

10. Soldiers have access to E-mail
and they send around the same "pass it on to your friends" stuff. That certainly did not come out of official channels. Last time a military guy did that was in the early sixties and he got fired. anybody remember Maj Gen Edwin Walker and his "pro-blue" troop information lectures??

8. Wonder if they are still asking soldiers to 'pray for bush*'? Remember
http://www.popdex.com/c/436272

A link to a collection of reports of soldiers in danger asked to take time out from protecting their usless asses and pray for bush*!!!!

15. Hey now
I hope you're praying to Satan or his ilk, cause I'm sure most deities don't cotton to that kind of thing.

I just pray he has an epiphany and realizes the true meaning of Jesus' messages.

9. The easist way to refute this is to let a soldier in Iraq read this
Some poor guy who has a family at home, who can't even get a decent meal, proper equipment, probably not even toilet paper, doesn't know what the hell he's still doing there, he just saw his friend get shredded by small arms last week.

Let a guy like that read why he outta just "shut up and understand that not as many people died as in other wars!"

12. ummmm...

So either I missed the meeting, or they aren't orders.

13. Methinks this is bullshit....
full of the 'talking points', like:

"...bin Laden's head on a platter ..."

"...Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick..."

"...Hillary Clinton...."

and of course the 'moranic' mispelling and crappy grammar:

"The Military moral is high!"

16. That Detroit argument always pisses me off . . .
"There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January...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."

I guess if you only count military deaths and ignore regular old homicide of Iraqi civilians (I know the Freepers don't like to consider them as human, but that's the way it is), this might be true.

These people are deranged and dangerous.

21. One BIG difference....
We can STOP the unfortunate losses in Iraq.

The criminal deaths in major metropolitans are the byproduct of our failure to educate and the economy. (When there is no way to earn an honest living, citizens will earn a dishonest one)...
(I know...I live near Youngstown)

24. Also
Detroit probably has much more people than Iraq. In addition, what about the thousands of soldiers who are injured every day in Iraq. That number is probably higher in Iraq than in Detroit.

17. Spin...spin...spin...I believe every point is debatable
ex...The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.

Answer...The last I noticed, WE'RE STILL AT WAR !!

ex...The Military moral is high! The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.

Answer...I talked to a kid 2 weeks ago that spent 4 months there.
He said NONE of his fellow soldiers wanted Buxh in office, the point is apparently the opinion of the author

I could go on...but I'm sure most here can refute the points as well.

19. This is the propaganda put out by Bob Jones employees.
The same team who put out the McCain fathered a black baby and that McCain was a Manchurian candidate.

They have a factory going of these ridiculous chain emails and faxes that they distribute through their wingnut gossipmongers.

Good Christians, eh? They think lying and exaggerating is moral if you claim to be doing it for the Lord. Just like the Moonies.

Shame on them.

20. all those brown skinned people don't count?
1) 39 US troop deaths, but how many of those brown skinned people that some say can't have democracy died? I'm guessing it was at least 10 times that if you count insurgents, Iraqi Policemen and everyday Iraqis who got killed by car bombs & other attacks.

2) Weren't there nuclear inspectors in Iran & North Korea until Bush named them as part of the dreaded Axis of Evil? (Correct me if I'm wrong?)

3) Negotiations for Libya to give up their WMD programs started under Clinton, I believe, and went on for a good 10 years. And, do you really trust Kadafi?

4) Korea was a UN action and there were a good amount of US soldiers already there. Should we have abandoned them and our allies?

5) the bin Laden story has been proven false so many times, but the person that supposedly offered to get Sudan to turn over Osama actually had no connection to the Sudanese gov't, and his actual offer (I believe) was to turn Osama over to the Saudis, which the Saudis rejected. And, don't forget, the Taliban twice offered to turn over bin Laden to Bush and, when our special forces had bin Laden surrounded at Tora Bora, somebody high up in the food chain told them to back off to let the Northern Alliance take him... Osama bribed those Alliance guys and got away.

6) As others have said, Bosnia was a NATO sanctioned action to prevent genocide.

23. Germany never attacked us: BOLD FACED LIE
We had our Merchant Marine Ships being attacked and sunk on a regular basis and those ships were sailing under the US Flag and considered US Soil. An attack upon them was an attack upon the USA just as any US Embassy under attack would be considered an attack upon America
