The California Quagmire

Great find by WorldNetDaily today: (h/t Mike’s America)

Recently released crime statistics show the homicide rate in California is 265 percent higher than the death rate suffered by U.S. and British military personnel in Iraq.

According to the report “Crime in California 2004,” compiled by California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, there were 2,394 reported homicides in the Golden State last year. That compares with 905 deaths of coalition forces in Iraq, chiefly Americans and Brits, during the same time period.

I question the intelligence that led us into California, I believe we did so because the Administration manipulated the intelligence. We need a timetable RIGHT NOW for the evacuation of California. Everyone who wants to pull out of California raise their hand.

Seriously now, before anyone jumps on the the obvious mischaracterization by WND I will bring it up. Some have argued that since California has 33,871,648 people in it then the comparison is flawed. Which is true. But I also believe the comparison is being brought up to show the LOW casualty rate we have sustained while winning a war and helping a country that has only known tyranny and dictatorship achieve freedom.

Take a look at the Korean War which lasted a bit longer then we have been in Iraq. American forces suffered 36,940 dead. On one day, D-Day, the Allies lost an estimated 8,400 troops. During the Battle of the Bulge 6,990 troops were killed or reported missing. This battle lasted one month.

For anyone to suggest we are losing this war or this war was not conducted correctly they need to take their head out of their freakin ass and shove it in a garbage disposal.
