Scope and Scale

Roosevelt conquered western Europe, Bush....

December 7, 1941 through May 8, 1945 (VE-Day) = 1,248 days

March 19, 2003 (U.S. invasion of Iraq) through Friday, August 18, 2006 = 1,248 days

(although it must be said that the Bush/FDR comparison isn't really fair. FDR wasn't distracted by mountain biking.)

(Too far?)

  • Mike,
    It's unfair to compare crack boy to a man like FDR.

  • That's true, because FDR wasn't distracted by mountain biking.

    Too far?

  • Well, to be fair, FDR waged war on the country that actually attacked us - Japan - and its allies. If FDR waged war on - I don't know - Spain, World War II might still be going on. ;-)

  • Damn those Spanish.

    On the other hand, they had the same nuke program as Saddam.
