1942 – The Battle of El Alamein began: WWII.
The battle lasted until November 3rd, and is one of the first WWII battles the British were able to defeat the Germans...As such it is one of the great turning points of the war in the West European Theatre.
Prior to El Alamein, Churchill muttered these famous words: "Is it really impossible to find a general who can win a battle?"...Sounds like President Lincoln in the American Civil War prior to General Grant.
Luckily, Churchill assigned a new commander to North Africa, replacing General Auchinleck with General Montgomery, who has been rightly criticized for his slowness in the European campaigns...That said, it is undeniable before he was given command of this British army the Allies won scarcely any battles, and after he was given such command the Allies lost hardly any battles.
El Alamein was Monty's finest hour, and showed the brilliance of the soon-to-be British Field Marshal...Unfortunately, it was one of the last times his brilliance matched his testicular fortitude.
4004 B.C. (9:00 AM) - According to 17th Century diviner James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh, and Dr. John Lightfoot of Cambridge, the world was created on this day, at this time.
Cuckoo, cuckoo!! Not only are they off by a few billion years, but how could these nuts be so vain to predict the exact time the world was created?

1783 - Virginia emancipated slaves who fought for independence during the Revolutionary War.
It's amazing they could justify freeing some, but not all of the slaves...And then become one of the paramount slave states up to and during the Civil War.
I wonder if peacenick idiots think fighting a civil war was worth ending slavery? Here's betting they'd rightly say 'yes,' but wouldn't be able to defend the change in their ignorant position against war...They'd say 'yes' because there's no way they could say slavery was better than fighting to end it.
Keep this in mind about peacenicks: They are emotional, illogical idiots.
1944 - The Battle of Leyte Gulf began: WWII.
Leyte Gulf is considered the largest naval battle in history, but is in no way one of the greatest...This battle is also the first where the Japanese employed it's 'special attack forces' - kamikaze's.
American forces pounded the Japanese for three days and the end result was the complete destruction of Japan's strategic naval force, which lost all four of its aircraft carriers, three battleships, six cruisers, 12 destroyers and over 10,000 dead sailors...Just as a point of showing the American dominance of the situation: There were 17 U.S. carriers in this battle!!!
The war was still far from over and there were plenty of hard-fought battles between here and August 1945, but from this point control of the air and sea was completely in U.S. hands.
1946 - The United Nations General Assembly met for the first time in New York.
Garbage in, garbage out.
The League of Nations should have died a quiet death...Instead the 'Frankenstein' was revitalized under the name of the U.N.
1983 - A truck filled with explosives, driven by a Muslim terrorist, crashed into the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. The bomb killed 237 Marines and injured 80. Almost simultaneously, a similar incident occurred at French military headquarters, where 58 died and 15 were injured.
Many cheered when Reagan sent a missile into 'QaDaffy's' tent in reply to this attack, but that did nothing but scare the 'Libyan Drag Queen'...The fact there was no real response added to the boldness of the Islamists, and showed them we were unwilling/unable to protect our people.
Sadly, this became a pattern...Luckily, President G.W. Bush decided to put an end to the pattern of terror, and took the fight to the terrorists lands. If only he hadn't turned a punitive mission into an Utopian democracy fantasy.
1988 - Democrat Lloyd Bentsen and the Reverend Jesse Jackson accused Republican George H.W. Bush of injecting race into the presidential campaign by focusing on prison escapee Willie Horton; a charge a Bush spokesman labeled "absolutely ridiculous."
Who injected race into the election?? Every U.S. election is dominated by Democrats demonizing Republicans as racists.
1989 - Hungary proclaimed itself a republic and declared Communist rule had ended.
The term 'Velvet Revolution' is usually applied to the Czechs, referencing the bloodless coup which overthrew the Communist government...This term should be applied to Hungary as well.
2002 - The Moscow Theatre Siege: Chechen rebels seized a crowded Moscow theater, taking hundreds hostage.
The Chechens held 700 hostages, demanding the Russian evacuation from Chechnya...I bet you couldn't guess the hostage takers were Muslims. Or could you?
On October 24, The Ruskies ended the standoff by killing all of the terrorists...Unfortunately, they also allowed 130 of the hostages to die in the chaos of the cleanup.
