Yes, and Roosevelt's war with Japan killed more Americans than Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
Which means absolutely nothing, just like the ludicrous notion that somehow the war to topple the Hussein regime was somehow about stopping him from killing Iraqis. It wasn't. It was about stopping him from killing any Iraqi he wanted to because he could, because he held power via terror.
The difference, in case you really are as naive as you act rather than just having an advanced case of BDS, is that the people living in Iraq post-Saddam don't have to fear becoming a victim of Saddam any more.
The people of Iraq are now free. That a great many died in the process is unfortunate but that's sometimes what it takes to liberate entire societies from the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, the National Socialist German Worker's Party or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
It's the fundamental problem with being institutionalized in America: it's all about vengeance, not social rehabilitation.
Actually, the American prison system isn't about vengeance or rehabilitation.
The Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishments even for those people who have committed cruel and unusual acts. So vengeance has strict limits on it.
And it's obviously not about rehabilitation. If it were, no one would get out of prison until they had been rehabilitated. There wouldn't be any set length sentences, they'd be incarcerated until they were no longer likely to commit the crime were jailed for committing.
JFK is a well-respected ex-president with a history of sexual misconduct in the white house.
And drug abuse. And leaving soldiers to die on the beach in Cuba after promising them air support and chickening out at the last minute. And fixing elections in Chile. And overthrowing the elected governments of Vietnam, Haiti and Guatemala.
Now, after seeing G. W. Bush lie about everything from our reasons for invading Iraq, our treatment of prisoners, illegally spying on Americans, secret CIA prisons, etc, I think Clinton was a fucking saint.
Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Out of the many reasons that Dubya listed in his U.N. speech as reasons to invade Iraq (failure to comply with U.N. resolutions, violating the Gulf War ceasefire by shooting at our airplanes, refusing to allow inspectors to check chemical and nuclear sites, sponsoring various terrorist groups and developing WMD) he was wrong on ONE of them. Get over it.
But if it's that big of a deal to you (OMG! CHIMPY LIED! PEOPLE DIED! HE PUT PANTIES ON THE TERRORISTS HEADS! OMG!) take it up with your Congresscritter. If he's so evil, the House can file impeachment articles. Besides, it's not like he took the decision to sell dual-use technology away from the Defense Department and gave it to the Commerce Department, then looked the other way while rocket technology was sold to the Chicoms so that they could put nuclear warheads on them and point them at us. Someone who did that would be a traitor. Like your fucking saint.
The difference being, of course, that "I didn't inhale" and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" were matters that could just as well have been kept private without significant financial repercussion or threat to our privacy and freedom, but for the stupidity of those who act out of blind hatred.
True, right up to the point where he lied about it in front of a Federal grand jury.
At that point it became a felony.
Remember kids, it wasn't just about sex, it was about perjury.
In Switzerland, misplacing a government-issued cartridge will get you a fine. (Not locked up.)
You are free to buy and use your own cartridges all you want. In fact, it is suggested that you do so to maintain your firearms proficiency.
The reason for the lost cartridge fine is to ensure that militia members all have the proper amount of ammunition on hand for the defense of their country. Not some gun-control bullshit.
And while we're at it, perhaps you like to explain how the crime rate has continued it's downward trend while firearm and ammunition purchases have nearly doubled in the past 10 years?
But we wouldn't want to let mere facts get in the way of an agenda now would we?
The count of convictions and guilty pleas coming out of the Whitewater investigation is between 10 and 20, depending on what one considers a Whitewater conviction and what one considers merely a new investigation started due to evidence uncovered during the Whitewater investigation.
Recently, Microsoft has actually begun to produce command line tools for system operations, controlling your services, networks, policies, and registry from the command prompt.
Let's not forget that JP Software has been producing 4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT shell replacements since the early 90's.
So it seems that Microsoft is "innovating" again, using the standard Microsoft definition, find good software, reimplement it poorly, and call it innovative.
There's already a hole in the cabin of commercial aircraft and it's about the size of your fist.
It's called the cabin pressurization outflow valve. The pressurization system creates much more pressure than the cabin actually needs. It's easier to regulate the outflow than the inflow.
If you empty a magazine of 9MM into the skin of an aircraft at 35,000 feet the cabin outflow valve would sense that it needs to be less open and would simply close a little more.
The effect on the passengers would be... exactly nothing.
People should really stop watching movies for their technical data.
And by the way, exactly what ensures that having a badge and a gun is safer for you than just having a gun? Have you checked the papers in Tacoma, WA lately?

I'm not sure I understand your analogy.

No, no, no. The Egyptian gods came here by wormhole. Thor, the Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet, came here by ship. Sheesh.

Should an organized group of partisan poll voters be able to spike the story just because they don't want to hear something bad?
Never, we'd rather have righteous dudes like Michael Isikoff spike the Monica Lewinsky story at the request of the Clinton White House.
That would be oh so much better, right?
As opposed to Chris "Obama gives me a tingle down my leg" Matthews?
You suck. I routinely got 712. You forgot to pull out your VGA adapter and replace it with a CGA card.
Yes, most American's are quite well aware of what the War on Poverty has cost us.

Clinton's Associates Who Have Been Convicted Of Crimes
The count of convictions and guilty pleas coming out of the Whitewater investigation is between 10 and 20, depending on what one considers a Whitewater conviction and what one considers merely a new investigation started due to evidence uncovered during the Whitewater investigation.
And let's not even start discussing how many Friends of Bill have died under unusual circumstances, many of them under investigation for crimes related to the Clintons.
Let's not forget that JP Software has been producing 4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT shell replacements since the early 90's.
So it seems that Microsoft is "innovating" again, using the standard Microsoft definition, find good software, reimplement it poorly, and call it innovative.

That's like trying to look at daytime without thinking of it as inherently light.
