4. There have been no space shuttle crashes since 2002
Way to go Bush!

There have been no Bush-failures since the last Bush-failure.

OJ Simpson hasn't killed anybody since 1994. So, the criminal justice system is working. Rove is doing an awesome job.

:sarcasm:

5. We have not been attacked because....
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 07:30 PM by Jade Fox
there is no huge terror threat to the USA. Yes, terrorists exist, as they
have for decades. But whatever threat they pose is a relatively easy-to-
handle situation with the kind of arms and power we have in this country.
9/11 happened because Bush ignored the copious warnings that it would
happen. Either that or he and his crew let it happen because they knew
how much political mileage they would get out of it.

The whole HUGE TERROR THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES is bull. That's
my opinion.

7. It really is a stupid thing to say! That is like telling me that I am safe
from being struck by lightening because I haven't been struck since they told me.

How long did it take for them to plan and setup the attack?.....years!

Have they protected other places which might be easy to use to attack us?....NO! We still have people prove that they can get on a plane with banned items. They still find people with forged documents at government plants. Unknown people simply walk across into this country everyday because no one is watching our southern boarder and then they divert a plane because Cat Stevens or some other guy whose name is the same as one on an out dated list is on it. I can email someone in France and they get it seconds after I click "send" but it takes 45 min. after the plane from France is in the air before our authorities get the list of names.

Those who can; do.
Those who can't do anything right; work for the government.

10. Two things....
You could bitch slap them with.

1. The Anthrax attacks - still unsolved. Probably forgotten by the right because the intended targets were media and democrats in Congress.
2001 anthrax attacks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks
U.S. Anthrax Attacks 2001
http://www.gwu.edu/~cih/anthraxinfo/public/publicthreat_attacks.htm


2. The war in Iraq - Americans are dying everyday; supposedly by "terrorists." Of course, happening 7,000 miles away the selfish right-wing pricks don't think that counts. The ol' volunteered to be there justification/does not count crap. But for every soldier killed over there, that's one less American willing to stand between the right-wing know-it-all and any incoming threat here at home.

Bring 'em on: Thirty-eight Iraqis killed by seven car bombs in Baghdad.
Bring 'em on: Three US soldiers killed in fighting near Ramadi.
Bring 'em on: Seven insurgents killed in Baghdad street fighting.
Bring 'em on: Turkmen politician escapes assassination attempt in Kirkuk.
Bring 'em on: One Iraqi policeman killed, seven civilians wounded by car bomb near Tuz Khormato.
Bring 'em on: Two insurgents killed in premature detonation of tractor bomb near Tikrit.
Bring 'em on: US checkpoint near Ramadi attacked.
Bring 'em on: One Iraqi child killed, two wounded by roadside bomb near Baquba.

13. Same here
Even my dad gives me that line. I tell him how Bush's numbers are low and stuff and he always replies "at least we haven't had another 9/11." I want to bang my head into the wall.

15. The very core of US gov't attacked by terrorist OCTOBER 2001

Terrorist attacked and almost murdered some our top elected officials in the US capital building, this was in October 2001, less than a month after 911 and when Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld should have been on the highest alert to protect our county.

Bush/Cheney FAILED to protect the United States for the SECOND time in LESS THAN A MONTH.

I've had rw's try to tell me that LIE about Bush and 911 and always let them know the truth, and everytime they have the stupidest look on their face.

PS No one was caught, and 4 years later Bush has no suspects and no leads.
