Judge,
This statement cannot be disputed, Since 9-11 their has not been a terrorist attack in the USA. If so, I missed it. How is that so hard to understand and why not give Mr. Bush some credit. If we were hit today the liberals would be up in arms about how Bush failed the American people.
What's going on in other areas is not what I stated when I started this thread. Remember Iraq is a war zone and bombs go off and people get killed. What's going on over there is a stretch to actually say that's regular terrorism.

Rummys a good man. I like him even more after the media called for his head during panties gate and he stood firm under fire. I would love for him to be President. The day he was elected all terrorist plots would halt against the US. I know during these PC times he can't be elected, however, if we are ever hit by a nuke a Rummy type would be elected in the next election. Americans would demand an end to the to PC handling of the our friends of the religion of peace.
GAMEFACE.....I will allude back to my original comment in this thread when you say that since 9/11 there has not been an attack in the USA...stating that it is merely a matter of time....considering that there were 8 years between the two attacks on the WTC buildings...
Considering that you state that there were no deaths in the USA after the events of 9/11....I would point out that after 9/11 that any suspicious acts or perceived acts of terrorism in America would be akin to just walking up to someone in front of and in plain sight of a police officer and shooting them in broad daylight.
Your numbers are skewed because they don't account for the bombing in Spain, just as one could say crime was down as evidence by the police presense when in fact the criminals just move thier operations to a place where the police are not present.
So we have merely moved the terrorists to another worksite, and it will only be a matter of time before the US becomes complacent and the terrorists amass a plan for one of a virtually unguardable number of targets in the US to be destroyed.
"If we were hit today the liberals would be up in arms about how Bush failed the American people."
....that day is coming, more likely in Bush's second term if there are enough idiots in this country to actually vote him in for a second term.....or enough votes are miscounted and we all call it "close enough" like the last election.

Judge like it or not that is the military job...to take the hits and protect the innocent civilians.GW as commander in chief is doing his job protecting the constitution and his citizens.
Anybody who thinks we are not safer today than we were on 9/10 really needs help.
The 9/11 commision who the left and democrats insisted on haveing said we are safer today but are still not safe.

I don't feel any safer or less safe, about the same. Considering we are supposedly gamblers here I find it interesting that we talk about such things, abstract as they may be. Just like you could think you have a lock and then have a couple of bad things go against you, so it is with life. Why should I base an election on feeling any more or less safe when things out of the control of all these people could happen? The fact is always repeated and should continue to be repeated, your chances of dying in a car on the way to the airport are far higher than dying in the plane, whether it be something caused by a terrorist or not. Same goes for everything else in life, chances of getting blown up in a mall are far lower than dying on the way there.
I don't single anyone out, but I do say as a society and country we are a bit weak. We might say we are tough, but that means sending out our military. As a person, I say this whole thing is thanks to the media and politicians so totally blown out of proportion. I have said it for a long time, long before W came to office, if you really want to cut down on needless death and terror, do something about the drunk drivers out on the road. And notice few people ever say they are afraid of drunk drivers on the road, yet if we do the math maybe they should be.

Thanks to awarness and agressive law enforcment we are safer.
(I agree with your point...but its statisticly true that we are safer)
Not to sound righteous because I'm guilty of driving drunk over a 1000 times (no more)
I am baffled however that you think that countries that support terroism be allowed to take frre shot anytime they please..because it is a freak occurence...you stand logic on its head.

Where are the free shots? I don't think anyone ever would let our guard down. The current administration talks a big game, but their successes have been fairly small outside of military incursions. They shouldn't claim credit for what is essentially in my mind "business as usual". The usual state of things is no foreign terrorists commiting crimes on US soil. Once in awhile they get one in, but it doesn't happen often so to claim you are doing something right because it isn't happening is a major stretch.
Marco,
My #'s are not skewed they are fact, 0 murders in America by terrorist since 9-11.
The President takes a beating daily, I'm simply saying kudos for a job well done over the last 3 years. That's all.
I agree with you on one point, that is we will be hit again at some point. America cannot protect every target. If we are hit as hard or harder then 9-11 Americans will demand the profiling of the people that are most likely to carry out a terrorist attack. Then it's unlikely to happen again in a large scale bombing, that's really the only way 9-11 could have been prevented. The ACLU would have sued the airlines into bankruptcy if they would have removed the terrorist from the planes the morning of 9-11. I could see the headlines men of peace had their civil rights violated for carry razors on the plane and blah, blah, blah.

I have NO doubt if Kerry is elected it's back to hoping and praying we get lucky and don't get hit. Ole Al Gore spoke and talk about what a great job Kerry would do protecting the country and he never once mentioned that Kerry voted against every weapons systems we currently use to defend our country. Clintoon and Gore were alseep at the wheel for 8 long years, vote Kerry in and we are back to the days of hoping we don't get hit. Just remeber how the USS Cole was blown basically in 1/2 because the Clintoon admin refused to allow the US Navy to defend our ship in fear we'd hurt our friends feelings of the religion of peace.
I don't know about you but I don't want to go back those days. I'm confident America will realize this.
