we haven't been attacked by terrorists since nine eleven because....
because:

osama is on the run, dead, hiding, scared of us.

osama never attacked us in the first place, that's just the official story.

bush is such a strong, effective leader, and has protected us and made us safer.

god is on our side.

1. With the damage the Bush regime has done to the country...
The terrorists can direct their energies elswehere. Or make some popcorn & watch the news from the USA.

4. Because B*shCabal™ is doing their job for them, recruits and $$$ are up...
...so new attacks are completely unnecessary.

7. WOW! Great Minds Going On Here!
See post # 5!

The reason it's called terrorism is because it is meant to cause terror and fear. They don't have to do a thing with an administration that rules by fearmongering and a media that only carries water & repeats talking points!

6. We haven't been attacked by terrorists since 9-11 because
the terrorists saw how the event made Bushitler more powerful and they are not going to do that again while he is in office. If they wanted to attack us, they would. There is NOTHING we can do about it. It has to be that they see his falling poll numbers and know he is becoming less popular as time goes on. An attack unifies Americans with their leader and that is the last thing they want to happen right now.

8. Because we
don't need another 911, everything is going quite nicely thank you. Right before the 06 elections would be a nice time and we'll have to meet with the guys in the back alleys over is Saudi Arabia and set it up for later.

10. The "terraists" have not attacked us again because they are saving...
this ace up their sleeve until the Shrub's popularity drops below 20%. They (PNAC) know they can only get away with one more "terrorist" act to scare everyone into rallying around the flag. People are wising up too quickly to their game. If one "Pearl-Harbor-like" event is good, then two is better, right? But three would be likely to give it away to even the incredulous.

11. Because terrorists are scared of PowerPoint
Yep, the MBA president with his powerful PowerPoint projector...

When did the moron start using those stupid repetitive phrases as a backdrop for every goddamned speech?

Yeah, it's so CORPORATE. So LAME.

13. How do we know we haven't? There have been lots and lots
of refinery explosions, plane crashes, etc etc. If there were another terrorist attack, they wouldn't tell us. They are constantly feeding us a line of bs so why would this be different?

14. We're doing the work for them
We're imploding.

We're alienating.

Our economy sucks. Our reputation in the world is worse.

We've lost ALL credibility as a "moral authority" in the world.

We're killing our own people and creating more terrorists every day.

What's left for OBL to do besides laugh?

16. The country experienced terror for 3 weeks in October 2002...
when Lee Boyd Malvo and John Allen Muhammad shot people from the trunk of their 1990 Chevrolet Caprice with a shoplifted Bushmaster (M-16) rifle. Ten died and three were critically injured.

I guess this approach is too simple for OBL, Zarkowi and crew.

20. Because they are achieving their goals without more attacks

The first and biggest obstacle to your victory is that the vast majority of the people who sympathize with your issue are not violent extremists. They may agree with you in principle. They may even sound like violent extremists late at night over their beverage of choice. But when the hammer comes down, they won’t be there. They aren’t cowards, they aren’t collaborators, but (like Dick Cheney during the Vietnam War) they have other priorities. There are weeds in the garden and final exams coming up and deadlines at the office. Good luck with that car bombing. Call me next time, maybe things will have settled down by then.

21. Bush got his "Pearl Harbor" like attack-all he needed to make Americans
scared and vengeful and ripe for war, no matter that the target was the wrong country.
