1973 – The Yom Kippur War began: Egypt and Syria attacked Israel during the Yom Kippur holiday.

Also known as the Ramadan War or the October War.

The Arabs (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, etc) attempted another surprise attack on Israel, and soon suffered another beating...Had it not been for the U.S. reigning in the Israelis the outcome would have been much worse for the pathetic Arab invaders.

This war has many important aspects, including:

1. The Arab insistence on trying to end the Israeli nation.

2. The absolutely ridiculous state of the Arab nations militarily, and also the fierceness of the Israeli military.

3. The sorry nature of Soviet weapon technology (Arab) compared to U.S. technology (Israel)...And make no mistake, the 20th Century Arab-Israeli Wars were the Middle Eastern theatre of the Cold War.

105 - The Battle of Arausio.

The Cimbri and Teutones gave the Romans a thorough whooping.

The Germanic tribes had over 200,000 troops, compared to 80,000 for the Romans, and the Romans suffered approximately 120,000 casualties (almost all of its military units, along with its civilian host).

Lucky for the Empire, instead of attacking Rome the Cimbri decided to march on the Averni tribe...The Empire was in dire straits after this battle, and it is debatable if Rome could have fought off a concerted attack of the imperial city.

877 - French King Charles 'the Bald' died and was succeeded by Louis 'the Stammerer.'

Charles was the last of the strong Frankish kings, and his death ‘unofficially’ marks the beginning of the Frenchification - opposed to Frankification - of the nation...In other words the Franks slowly became pansies.

1939 - In an address to the Reichstag, Adolf Hitler denied having any intention of war against France and Britain:  WWII.

I’m sure Der Fuhrer was planning on living up to his promise, because Chamberlain proclaimed “peace in our time” a year earlier...Bunch of damn fools.

1943 - Heinrich Himmler demanded the acceleration of the 'Final Solution':  WWII.

1. The S.S. wasn’t killing Jews fast enough.

2. The ‘Chicken Farmer’ wanted to get started on the systemic annihilation of the Gypsies, Poles, Ruskies, etc.

3. The war was beginning to go very badly for the Krauts, and they figured they may as well raise Hell for as long as they could.

1944 - Soviet troops entered Hungary and Czechoslovakia:  WWII.

Liberators!! That would be funny if it weren’t so sad...These two countries simply swapped one beast for another.

1949 - Japanese-American broadcaster, Iva Toguri D'Aquino (Tokyo Rose), was sentenced to 10-years in prison and fined $10,000 for treason during WWII.

How does treason during wartime not equal the death penalty???

1991 - The Cable News Network obtained and aired a video-tape made in Beirut, Lebanon, of American hostage Terry Anderson, who quoted his captors as saying they would have "very good news."

Question: Why is CNN in bed with the Islamists?? They have sold their soul to these SOB’s, just to get stories...Which has come to light since the most recent Iraq War.

I have no doubt they would have gladly filmed Anderson being beheaded, and done nothing about it...Which makes them nothing more than 'Al Jazeera of the West.'

Along with being the Kings of Fake News.

1994 - In an address to a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress, South African President Nelson Mandela warned against the lure of isolationism, saying the post-Cold War focus of the United States should be on eliminating tyranny, instability and poverty.

1. Who gives a damn what this Communist wanted?

2. When the U.S. does as Mandela asked, we get crapped on by the rest of the world…Iraq fits each of his three problems to solve (tyranny, instability, poverty), but the effort was made by a Republican president so it was no good. Hmmmmmmmm?

1997 - In a blow to both Democrats and Republicans, President Bill Clinton used a line-item veto to kill 38 military construction projects.

Imagine that. Bill Clinton sticking it to the military...And then we wonder why the military was short of manpower, supply and training when we need them after 9/11/01.

Oh I forgot, it was Bush’s fault...Riiiiiiiight.
