    Lightbulb Something for Everyone to Read :

    Some would say this belongs in the Joke Section, Others might say it Belongs in a Political Section, but, But, BUT, as One Reads this, One might grasp the Concept that it belongs in the World News Section and Should Never Bee Forgotten :

    JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"
    DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop.

    When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.
    He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of Its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for In return is enough to bury those that did not return."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, One of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to
    shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?"
    You Could have heard a pin drop.

    A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French
    navies at a cocktail reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a
    French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
    speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...
    Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked
    sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
    You could have heard a pin drop.

    If You are proud to be an American, Canadian, British or Australian pass this on!

    If not, delete it. I am proud to be an American!

    Not too long for me 4me, I just bought a copy of the Complete WWII text book set from West Point. Adding it to the CBI, and 8th AAC books. Already got the Civil War. Maybe able to get Korean and Vietnam soon. I really wish defeated nations would teach their children the FACTS to prevent them from things like those in the stories 4me. I have an uncle who was dug up in 1951 and sent back from Belgium FOD. My other uncle who won the Silver Star and my grandfather viewed his remains. I put out about 12 flags every holiday for family and friends that have no one that does it. Sad that the young people of the world take their freedoms so arrogantly for granted when in less than a year in 1941 they could have been forever gone. The rise to real fascism in this country under the leadership of soros is just as it was in Germany in the late 30's. Too bad these young people can't be taught because they are so deeply indoctrinated with self hatred.

    The problem with Nato is they rule against every thing we ask for or try to do, even though we paid over half of their budget Russia and a few other countries had veto power over every issue and used it voraciously. If they are going to control the issues they need to pay the bills. Otherwise we would be well rid of them. They and the UN have robbed us for years all the while screwing us like a gutter whore. If biden gets elected and they take the senate look for them to allow the UN to come into this country and remove all small arms from private citizens under their small arms treaty. The last democrat administration tried to begin to enforce it without getting senate confirmation. I feel as if they will have to do that to keep from having their administration overthrown by force. We the People are tired of being robbed by the NWO political ruling class and their hired help.
