Internet Rumors

I'm sure many of you saw this on Free Republic; it was rumored that Senator John Glenn said the following:

WHAT SENATOR JOHN GLENN SAID:

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in 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 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-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 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!!!!

Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB! The Military morale is high!

The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts

Snopes has said that it was most definitely not Senator Glenn who stated it and none of us should be surprised. His years in Congress he spent voting in true liberal form. But I think there are items here that we must consider. Despite it's author those items are indeed true. I grow continually discouraged with this war and see-saw back and forth regarding the validity of it. I honestly don't know how to feel about all of it.

Yesterday my children and I were speaking about biblical prophesy and this war came into our conversation. I told them that this war was not the end and that according to prophesy, it's going to get worse. The anti-christ will enter this picture and bring peace with his "one world religion". Are we watching biblical prophesy unfold? Or is this just a bump in the road with the tribulation ages away? Don't know; but what I do know is that I do have a God. A God that provides me with all I need. A God that has promised me eternal life; a God that brings me the peace that surpasses all understanding. I'll keep trying to remember the big picture.
