Let's review:

2) 1982 - US Embassy in Beirut bombed by Muslims extremists. Reagan sends Marines to Beirut.
3) 1983 - US Marine barricks in Beirut bombed by Muslim extremists. Reagan wants to continue but Democrats cried and demanded our troops out. Regan caved in an election year. On the way out he ordered the bombing of Somalia - Dems bitched about that too.
4) 1985 - Italian Cruise ship is seized and a 69 year old American was shot and thrown overboard by Muslim extremists. Reagan ordered a mission to capture the hijackers - conceived by Ollie North - they capture the hijackers and we turn them over to Itlay who lets them go.
5) 1986 - West Berlin discoteque frequented by American servicemen is bombed by Muslim extremists. Ten days later Regan bombs Libya even though our "ally" France disallows the use of airspace. Kaddafi's daughter killed.
6) 1988 - Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim Extremists. Bush says he will continue Reagan's policy of retaliation but does not.
7) 1990 - Saddam invades Kuwait.
8) 1991 - Bush goes to war with Iraq the way liberals like - with permission from UN and all of the US "allies". Democrats demanded that our troops stop at Baghdad. Then after 9/11, they bitched that Bush didn't "finish the job".
9) 1993 - World Trade Center was bombed by Muslim Fanatics. Clinton did nothing.
10) 1993 - 18 American troops killed in Somalia. One American corpse was dragged through the street as Somalians cheered. Clinton ordered our troops home.
11) 1995 - five Americans killed and thirty wounded by a car bomb in Saudi Arabia by Muslim extremists. Clinton did nothing.
12) 1996 - US Air Force housing complex in Saudi Arabia was bombed by Muslim extremists. Clinton did nothing.
13) 1996 - Saddam attacked the Kurds in Erbil. Hussein has WMD's which he used on the Kurds and others. IT'S A FACT! Clinton bombed Iraq - hundreds of miles from Saddam's troops.
14) 1997 - Iraq refused to allow UN weapons inspectors to do their jobs and threatened to shoot one of our planes down. Clinton did nothing.
15) 1998 - Clinton threatened to bomb Iraq, but called it off when the UN said no.
16) 1998 - US embassies were bombed by Muslim extremists. Clinton did nothing.
17) 1998 - Lewinsky appeared before grand jury. Clinton bombs Afghanistan and Sudan.

19) 1999 - Clinton attacks the Serbians who were fighting Muslim extremists.
20) 2000 - The US Cole is bombed. Clinton did nothing.
21) Bush comes into office telling Condoleeza he's tired of swatting flies and wants to get rid of Al Qaeda.
22) September 11 - World Trade Center and Pentagon hit.
23) John Q. Soldier joins the army.
24) Bin Laden is linked to Hussein.
25) Bush wins wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, captures Saddam, immobolizes bin Laden (and possibly kills him), destroyed Al Qaeda's base and begins the only functioning democracy in the Middle East other than Israel.
26) Johnny trains to be prepared to go to war if he is called.
27) Johnny knows that he could die. Joins anyway.
28) Johnny dies fighting for country.
29) Now - Democrats are outraged that in the months before 9/11, Bush did not do everything they opposed doing after 9/11, as well as questioning Bush's faith because "real Christians don't order pre-emptive strikes" (apparently they skipped the Old Testament and went straight to the New Testament).
What a world we live in!
