A Comparison
Rubber Hose noticed a comparison by The Angry Bear between World War II and the Global War on Terror.
May 19th, 2005 is the 1346th day after the September 11th, 2001 attack on the US. There were 1346 days between the attack on Pearl Harbor and the unconditional surrender of Japan, ending World War II.
The American people under FDR managed to train and equip several major armies to fight a war on a truly global scale against massive enemy armies and develop the atomic bomb.
Under GWB we don’t seem to be able to find one guy in a cave, nor to supply our troops with the equipment they need, and our possible enemies are the ones developing the atomic bomb.
Recently, George W. Bush criticized the actions of Franklin Delano Roosevelt during World War II. President Roosevelt won his war in 1346 days, even with the handicap of dying before the end, and “he went to war with the army he had”, but he made it better along the way.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. [Matthew 7:15-16]
Where are Bush’s “fruits”, the results of his leadership?
