1940 - During the Battle of Britain, the tide turned when the Luftwaffe sustained heavy losses inflicted by the Royal Air Force:  WWII.

It's hard to believe Hitler didn't fire the ‘Fat Field Marshal’ for this disaster - or follow the normal Nazi practice of killing him...Thankfully, Hitler not only let him live, but Goering continued in his position as C-in-C of the Luftwaffe through the end of the war.

Of all Hitler’s Henchmen none were quite as pathetic and incompetent as Goering, who had a large role in Germany’s three worst debacles of the war: The Dunkirk Escape, the Battle of Britain and the Battle of Stalingrad...Goering was given the honor of staring in all three, and in each case he failed epically.

1916 - Military tanks were first sent into action as part of the Allied offensive at the Battle of the Somme:  WWI.

Trench warfare was the routine method of battle in WWI, but the advent and use of tanks and planes put an end to this useless tactic in all future wars.

1917 - Russia was proclaimed a republic by Alexander Kerensky, head of the provisional government.

Who knows how Russian history would have been if the Mensheviks kept the Bolsheviks out of power...It would have likely been a different kind of Communism, but the end result likely would have been similar: The destruction of the human spirit.

1935 - The Nuremberg Laws deprived German Jews of their citizenship and made the swastika the official symbol of Nazi Germany.

Less than two years in charge and Hitler was already following through with his promises...Had the rest of the world taken him serious from the start, they could have averted disaster.

Instead the rest of the world shoved their heads further up their asses, and hoped for the best.

1937 - British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain flew to Germany to discuss the future of Czechoslovakia with Adolf Hitler.

Chamberlain was the #1 'head shover,' but at least he was about to provide “peace in our time"...Great.

1942 - Armies of Nazi Germany began their siege of the Russian city of Stalingrad:  WWII.

Speaking of Stalingrad (see above)...Open fighting ended in the battle, and the Germans were on the siege offensive from here till the Soviet breakout.

This is where Goering came into play. He promised Hitler he’d be able to supply the German troops from the sky, since there was no way the Wehrmacht could keep such an impossible logistics train...Goering was wrong, again, and instead of becoming a great victory, Stalingrad became a kessel (cauldron) for Field Marshall von Paulus and his 800,000 man 6th Army.

1994 - In a terse ultimatum from the Oval Office, President Bill Clinton told Haiti's military leaders: "Your time is up. Leave now or we will force you from power."

Check out Bubba threatening that great power - Haiti.

Question: How did Haiti threaten the U.S.? This is the question Liberals ask when Republican presidents use the military.

Oh, I forgot: Military operations with (D) behind them = Good...Military operations with (R) behind them = Bad.

1995 - The U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women approved a wide-ranging platform on women's rights, including the promotion of inheritance rights and the condemnation of wartime rape.

Wow! The U.N. had the brilliance to 'condemn' wartime rape....Such genius coming out of the ‘Circle Jerk Group’ is truly awe-inspiring.

So, what have they been doing to actually protect women since this time? Nada!!

1997 - Vice President Al Gore and Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman reported over 30 million Americans (1 in 7) were suffering from hunger.

What a crock of crap.

Look around you. Look anywhere in this country...There are surely some people who are ‘hungry,’ but there is no way it is anywhere near 14% of Americans. This was just a boldfaced lie.

It’s even more laughable when you combine this 'report' with those coming out stating over 20% of the population is ‘obese'...Bunch of jokers. If they ever lose their jobs, they should go looking for work at the U.N. where they love this kind of garbage.

2005 - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran is willing to provide nuclear technology to other Muslim states. Hours later, European nations renewed an offer of economic incentives if the Mideast nation would halt its uranium enrichment.

Let me get this straight, Iran acts poorly and the West offers to give it money? Sadly, that sounds about right.

2005 - North Korea said it wouldn't give up its nuclear weapons without receiving a reactor for generating power, stalling six-nation talks on Pyongyang's atomic programs.

It works for Iran, so why shouldn't North Korea give it a shot as well?

And now they are testing hydrogen bombs and ICBMs...Nice!!
