Posted Before but Demands Another Listing

Once
upon
 a time
when our
politicians
tend to apologize for our country's prior
actions,
here's a
refresher on
how some of
our former
patriots
handled
negative
comments about

our
country.

These
are good





JFK'S 
Secretary of
State, Dean
Rusk, was in
France in the
early 60's
when 
DeGaulle
decided to
pull out of
NATO. DeGaulle
said he wanted
all US 
military out
of France as
soon as
possible.

Rusk
responded,
"Does
that include
those who are
buried here?"


DeGaulle 
did not
respond.

You
could have
heard a pin
drop.







When in
England ,
at a
fairly large
conference,
Colin Powell
was asked by
the 
Archbishop of
Canterbury if
our plans for
Iraq were just
an example of 
'empire
building' by
George Bush.


He
answered by
saying,
"Over
the years, the
United States
has sent many
of 
its fine young
men and women
into great
peril to fight
for freedom 
beyond our
borders. The
only amount of
land we have
ever asked for 
in return is
enough to bury
those that did
not 
return."

You
could have
heard a pin
drop.

There
was a
conference in
France
where a
number of
international
engineers 
were taking
part,
including
French and
American.
During a
break, 
one of the
French
engineers came
back into the
room saying,
"Have you 
heard the
latest dumb
stunt Bush has
done? He has
sent an
aircraft 
carrier to
Indonesia to
help the
tsunami
victims. What
does he 
intend to do,
bomb them?"

A
Boeing
engineer
stood
up and replied
quietly: "Our
carriers have
three 
hospitals on
board that can
treat several
hundred
people; they
are 
nuclear
powered and
can supply
emergency
electrical
power to 
shore
facilities;
they have
three
cafeterias
with the
capacity to 
feed 3,000
people three
meals a day,
they can
produce
several
thousand 
gallons of
fresh water
from sea water
each day, and
they carry
half a
dozen
helicopters
for use in
transporting
victims and
injured to and 
from their
flight deck.
We have eleven
such ships;
how
many does
France have?"

You
could have

A U.S.
Navy Admiral
was
attending a
naval
conference
that included 
Admirals from
the U.S.,
English,
Canadian,
Australian and
French 
Navies At a
cocktail
reception, he
found himself
standing with
a large 
group of
officers that
included
personnel from
most of those
countries. 
Everyone was
chatting away
in English as
they sipped
their drinks
but a 
French admiral
suddenly
complained
that, whereas
Europeans
learn many 
languages,
Americans
learn only
English. He
then asked,
"Why is it
that 
we always have
to speak
English in
these
conferences
rather than 
speaking
French?"

Without
hesitating,
the
American
Admiral
replied,
"Maybe it's
because the 
Brit's,
Canadians,
Aussie's and
Americans
arranged it so
you wouldn't 
have to speak
German."

AND 
THIS STORY
FITS RIGHT IN
WITH THE
ABOVE...

Robert
Whiting,
an
elderly
gentleman of
83, arrived in
Paris by
plane.
At
French
Customs, he
took a few
minutes to
locate his
passport
in his
carry on.

"You 
have been to
France before,
monsieur?" the
customs
officer asked 
sarcastically.

Mr.
Whiting
admitted
that he had
been to France 
previously.

"Then 
you should
know enough to
have your
passport
ready."

The
American said,
"The
last time I
was here, I
didn't have to
show it."

"Impossible.. 
Americans
always have to
show their
passports on
arrival in
France !"

The
American
senior
gave
the Frenchman
a long hard
look. Then he 
quietly
explained,
''Well, when I
came ashore at
Omaha Beach on
D-Day in 
1944 to help
liberate this
country, I
couldn't find
a single
Frenchman 
to show a
passport to." 

You

If 
you are proud
to be an
American, pass
this on! If
not, delete
it.


I am
proud to be of
this land,
AMERICA

Funny, I don't see the word Muslims anywhere here for all there GREAT contributions to the world that Obama the Liar claims.
