9 Dec 45 - the equivalent day in WWII

[BOSSHOG]

Today is day one of year four for bush's folly. In 246 days 15 August 2006 we will equal the amount of time we spent in WWII. That's a long time to be in the last throes. And that wacky team of Roosevelt and Truman and General Eisenhower had a plan and it worked and it didn't involve politics to the end.

1. Only thing is, the Allies *wanted* to win WWII

whereas today, Halliburton says nuts to that.

2. 1944, not 1945

Good point, wrong year.

3. if you're counting from pearl harbor, 9/11 would be the right start date

on that basis, we've already spent more time in the "war on terror" (with no end in sight against an near-nonexistent enemy) than in wwii (with victory in two hemispheres against two massive empires).

4. Passed it May 19, 2005

May 19, 2005 was the 1,346th day since the attacks of 9/11.

That is the same length of time from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the end of WWII on V-J Day. (Dec 7, 1941 to Aug 24, 1945)
