"Its not a coincidence we have not been attacked again"

[951-Riverside]

...What do you suppose Al G. means by this?

[wicket]

1. I suppose he's got a short memory - ANTHRAX!!!!!

:grr:

[fooj]

2. I heard that.

Geez...then tell us of ONE conviction you've gotten, you asshats! How many terrorists have you convicted? The answer...ZERO!!!

Peace.

[Atman]

3. He's correct. It's not a coincidence, it's A LIE.

Of course we've been attacked. Can you say Anthrax?

Oh, wait...

That was part of Operation Bullshit WTC Attack, wasn't it?

[bullimiami]

4. no its not a coincidence, its a confirmation that...

our government was involved, face it.

[JuniperLea]

8. That was my take too

I gasped when I heard it... they all know but are afraid.

15. Exactly, and it is just another RW

talking point. Cheney said it last week in a speech, didn't he? I seem to recall a post about it. They will manipulate and lie to serve their purpose.
In the Waco hearings, Janet Reno was put under oath. But not the AG answering questions of such great importance? I'm as frustrated as I have ever been.

EDIT to add quote...

I found this quote from last month's speech by Cheney. They want it both ways. They can do whatever they want, but don't blame us if it happens again.


"No one can guarantee that we won't be hit again, but neither should anyone say that the relative safety of the last four years came as an accident," Cheney said. "America has been protected not by luck but by sensible policy decisions."

5. In other words...

It's not a coincidence that they haven't been able to carry out another attack like the one that took years to plan, coordinate, and launch.

No, Alberto, it's not a coincidence. It's timing.

Go figure.

6. It is indeed frustrating watching Alberto Gonzales do the

South American hat dance. He's been caught in so many contradictions that he should be embarrassed to death.

[central scrutinizer]

7. and if we had been attacked again,,,

they would also be using that as justification - only in bizzarro repug world can both outcomes be used to justify the same thing.

[Crunchy Frog]

9. Probably not a coincidence that we were attacked the first time. n/t

[qanda]

10. What does he mean WE?

Our troops get attacked almost every single day in Iraq.

[azurnoir]

12. So you mean

"we went there, so they didn't have to come here?" gosh * is considerate:sarcasm:

[earth mom]

11. When was this said? I missed it. TIA! eom

[bunkerbuster1]

13. He means, "I'm a Freeper!"

He might as well be, regurgitating idiotic talking points like that one.

[yella_dawg]

14. Alberto!

Dude!

The term "coincidence" denotes two events with no known causal link that occur in such a way as to seem related. You cannot use coincidence to describe an event that didn't happen.

I can only hope that was you're ass talking, 'cuz I wanna believe the AG of the United States isn't really that stupid.
