[Vision2020] How Could Anyone Support That Woman?

[Kai Eiselein, editor]

You know. I could have sworn the Japanese invaded, and held, several of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska well after Pearl Harbor.
Doesn't Alaska count? It was a US territory at the time, as was Hawai'i.
Dutch Harbor was bombed by the Japanese planes June 3-4, 1942.
Also in 1942, a Japanese sub shelled an oilfield near Santa Barbara, California and a another attacked a fortification in Oregon. A float plane was assembled by a sub crew and it was used to drop firebombs, which started a few small fires in Oregon.
A tanker was struck by a German torpedo in the mouth of the Mississippi River, several ships were torpedoed within sight of beachgoers along the eastern seaboard well after Pearl Harbor.
Lets not forget the infamous "balloon attacks" of 1945.

  Roger Falen stated:
   
  "There has not been any other 9/11 types of attacks on us. There has been several attempts, but they have thwarted."
   
  In a very, VERY minor way it is comforting to know that nobody has launched an attack on US soil since September 11, 2001 (6 years, 4 months, and 18 days ago).
   
  Yet another way to look at 9/11/2001 is that it was the first attack on US soil since December 7, 1941 (59 years, 9 months, 4 days prior to 9/11).  
   
  Roger goes on to suggest that tax cuts will stimulate the economy.  
   
  Note to Roger:  This is the first war in our history where the president is pushing for tax cuts.  "Tax cuts during war" is oxy-moronic.  You say that we should provide for our troops (I am with you there 100%), then you go on to say:
   
  "Tax cuts would stimulate the economy and the increase in total income will more than make up for revenue that is lost by a tax cut."
   
  Question, Roger:  How are tax cuts going to "give them all the support we can in the field and continue to take care of the veterans when they come home"?
