13 attempted and 1 successful terror attacks under Bush regime.
Maybe it is important to remind the US that under the Bush administration there have been 1 successful and 13 thwarted terror attacks on the US.

Under Clinton there was one.

4. All the apparent threat that the media has touted as thwarted
We are going to see a constant stream of "We Saved You from THEM" stories from now to November.

3. actually, attempts have been going on for a long time and are mostly
thwarted. the difference is, Bushco trots out a thwarting when their popularity is low. Used to be, attempts got thwarted and no one talked about it.

5. wrong: Anthrax, DC sniper...
more than one successful one. And by golly, that anthrax terrorist was extremely successful, since no one is even looking for him.

6. Wrong, there have been 2 successful attacks.
Despite the lamestream media's lack of coverage -- and a COMPLETE lack of investigation -- the antrax attacks were terrorist attacks.

22 people were infected (including 2 Democratic Senators), 5 died.

Actually, you could make the case that each one was a separate attack. In which case, you have 22 terrorist attacks.

10. Yes, Yes, Yes
Thank you for pointing this out. I wish all the Democratic Candidates for Congress would point this out and show how incompetant Bush is. After all, had the memo about 9/11 not been ignored by these fools who can't comprehend, 9/11 might have been prevented.

12. They have done nothing to stop future attacks.
We are as vulnerable as weve ever been. The difference between now and 911 is that people are more wary. They are more suspicious. People are less likely to sit back and do nothing. I doubt that any terrorist could take a commercial airliner today without getting his nuts kicked off by the passengers. The bush administration has done nothing to stop terrorism. Hes actually made more of it with his boneheaded moves.
