2003 - American forces captured Saddam Hussein who was hiding in a hole near his hometown of Tikrit.
This was great news, but I'm still amazed he was captured and not killed...Thankfully, Saddam met the hangman on December 30, 2006, which is how every despot on should meet his end.
Go here to watch the SOB die...Yes, it is the real deal. The video and audio quality are not great, but the outcome is.
1577 - English Captain Sir Francis Drake set out with five ships on a nearly three-year journey which took him around the world.
Drake was a great explorer, and an even better pirate, looting the Spanish many times...Truly one of the astronauts of his time.
1636 - America's first permanent militia regiments, among the oldest continuing units in history, were organized by the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
This event is considered the birthday of the U.S. National Guard...Happy 381st Birthday.
1863 - The Battle of Fredericksburg: U.S. Civil War. Confederate forces dealt Union troops a major defeat, which ended at Marye’s Heights with the bloody slaughter of Union troops.
The Union had over 120,000 troops, led by General Burnside, against Lee’s 78,000 Confederate troops...In this debacle, Burnside proved he had no business commanding such a large force - which he tried to persuade President Lincoln of prior to the battle, by the way.
The Confederates left the battle with a victory and about 5,000 casualties, compared to over 12,500 for the Union force.
1998 - Puerto Rican voters rejected statehood by a vote of 50.2% to 46.5%. The winning option was none of the above, but was interpreted as a decision to remain a commonwealth within the U.S. with local autonomy.
They’d much rather continue sucking at the nipple of the American cow without the responsibility that comes with being an American state - or even an independent State.
2000 - George W. Bush claimed the presidency five weeks after Election Day, a day after the U.S. Supreme Court shut down further recounts of disputed ballots in Florida. Democrat Al Gore conceded, delivering a call for national unity.
After tearing apart the nation, Al Gore called for national unity...And then proceeded to take ‘pot-shots’ at Bush at every opportunity he could.
What a POS!
2004 - The U.N. restricted its humanitarian operations in Sudan's troubled South Darfur area following a shooting that killed two aid workers.
What a sad joke! How can anyone put any stock in the U.N. if it proves itself to be useless even in Third World toilets?
The problem with the U.N. is stated in the headline: The U.N. loses two people and it turns tail.
Solving tough problems requires tough people...The U.N. is a panty-waste organization, which is why it can't handle tough problems.
