There hasn't been a terror attack in 5 yrs. So fucking what?

[Philosoraptor]

Is this the best bragging point republicans can come up with? There HAS been an attack in the last six years however, and nine eleven happened early on in bush's term, under bush's watch, after bush ignored the warnings for two whole months.

If there is another terror attack, what the fuck good was the bragging point? Are we truly safer now? Not according to all the specialists and experts.

And the antrhrax attack never gets mentioned of course, cause its a cold case, unsolved to this day, five whole years later.

So the republicans can claim responsibility for keeping us safe for 5 years? I don't think so. They damn sure didn't keep us safe for the last 6 years.

1. This is what the repubs are most effective empty slogans to prey on fear

Unfortunately it works with most Americans who do not have enough thought processes to understand they are being corralled. I hate to insult people's intelligence and come off like I so much more enlightened, but if you listen to some of our fellow Americans calling into CSPAN you can tell from their calls that they have bought BS hook line and sinker.

2. I once told someone that

I would give Shrub credit for it if they will admit that Bill Clinton kept us safe for 8 years.

They can't do it. They won't.

3. No attacks here because we've made the war more convenient for the

terrorists. We created a playground for them in Iraq and a resurgence in Afghanistan by leaving that campaign prematurely. We caved into Bin Laden's demands of leaving Saudi Arabia. We're spending hundreds of billions of dollars, which could be spent domestically to prevent terrorist attacks for a fraction of the cost to take not the fight but our personnel to them so that they can walk around like shooting ducks and be picked off by snipers and IED's. Freedom is not on the march, it is dying here in America.

5. In the previous I also failed to mention, so what 5 years ? There was an

8 year gap between the two WTC attacks. These are patient people and unfortunately the impatient a$$ clown in the WH has left the US vulnerable for the next attack by not hardening infrastructure here and instead creating killing fields in Iraq and Afghanistan. Guess what, he didn't get them and now he never will.

Heck a$$ clown kept blaming the Clinton-Gore administration during his 2000 run, charging that they were short two combat divisions. This of course was misconstrued truth: the divisions were involved in KFOR and UN duties in the Balkans. Based solely on a$$ clowns assertions, today we have 0 ready combat divisions and 0 ready reserve divisions.

4. It just raises my suspicion of Them all the more ,Shrubs is one of the....

only benefactors of 9/11 besides Kkkarl ,Osama and Halliburton who's done better?

[zeemike]

6. According to Woodward there is an attack in Iraq every 15 min.

And if you remember Osama's taped message that was his strategy to engage our military and drive us into bankruptcy like he did to the Russians in Afghanistan.
Seems to me Osamma's plan is working.

[malaise]

7. Yes because Condi et al

ignored the warning re the last attack

[driver8]

8. As someone has previously pointed out, there are terrorist attacks on

Americans almost every day in Iraq. I guess the 2, 700+ dead Americans in Iraq don't count...on account of them being killed "over there."

[Canuckistanian]

9. BEFORE him there hadn't been an attack for 60 years.

So this is supposed to make Americans feel safer?

[noahmijo]

10. That is the most childish bullshit excuse I have ever heard from them

There was never an attack on US Soil since 1993 to the moment Clinton left office. That's almost a solid 8 years w/o a terrorist attack ON DOMESTIC soil especially considering the 1993 attack occurred merely a month into Clinton's presidency.

So again neo-cons what's your fucking point?

[stella]

11. ATTACKS ARE GOING ON IN IRAQ

almost 3,000.00 american are dead and 10 thousand wounded.
Bin laden does not need to come here when he can attack us over there and get us
bankrupt over here.

[CountAllVotes]

12. I guess Foley doesn't count

Even though he has been terrorizing young boys for longer than 5 years it seems! :grr:

:dem:

[KittyWampus]

13. So maybe the "War On Terror" is trumpted up bullshit after all>

because Bush and the GOP have done NOTHING to protect our ports, chemical plants, nuclear reactors, infrastructure and borders.

[VeggieTart]

14. Actually, there sort of has..

But you really can't blame the Bushies for the sniper attaacks of 2002 in the DC area.

[Riddler]

15. And I instituted stringent measures to insure there would be no

rampaging elephant attacks in my neighborhood, and I'm delighted to say my actions have resulted in no attacks whatsoever!

[Mr_King]

16. I say...

everytime there is an I.E.D. attack on an American soldier, that is a terrorist attack.

Just because the attack isn't as massive as 9/11 doesn't mean it counts less.

That's what I tell the Repunks and that shuts them up most of the time.
