You can check my math but I think it is correct.

1. And FDR had two Osamas to deal with. nt

2. Both had standing armies too

On opposite ends of the globe

4. Worse than that...

Hitler and Hirohito had millions on their side and the power of massive states behind them.

There are estimated to be approx 5,000 or less members of al-Aqaeda and Osama has no state power, no army, no manufacturing base, no technology...possibly the only thing he has right now is a tape recorder.

8. Good point..

Russians took out Berlin.

3. don't you mean.....

Bush HASN'T been chasing Osama for 55 months?

[lutefisk]

5. Yes, but Roosevelt and Truman were on our side

If the Bush family had one of their men in the White House then, things would have turned out differently...

7. Hitler would be releasing audio tapes..nt

9. Apparently we don't "do" Osama anymore.

That was 2003.

10. Bush is a slow starter. He had to learn how to pronounce Osama first n/t

11. Well let step back a bit...the USA did not win WW II

We were a partner in the victory....fact is Russia was the prime contributor to the defeat of Germany. Our contribution was invaluable, and our motivation more pure than the Russians, but militarily speaking we were not the primary actors!

12. Bush has a tremendous coalition of the willing too so that moots that point

At least that is what I think.
