9/11 came and went without much fanfare. I wonder why that is. Far less
people were killed at Pearl Harbor, but the outrage was much more. I
thought it was sad that so many have forgotten so soon, so many think it was
a conspiracy from within, and that we don't have to worry about future
terrorism. We are all so safe now that terrorism has been removed from the
vocabulary.

911 was caused by the US Government to declare War on the Middle East
ONLY to gain Oil.......
I guess it should cause more outrage...considering the US Govt.
slaughtered its own citizens.......

The assertion is certainly true. Unfortunately the current
administration always takes the blame for whatever happens (attacks,
recessions or whatever) so we are still waiting to see how long we
stay safe. I would ve very happy in Obama gets through his term with
no bad things happening ... but I am only thinking out for my own good
fortune. Anyone who feels any other way is a moron.



I have no doubt you feel this way, but some like Cheney and some on Fox
would be quite happy to see us attacked.

They are certainly morons by your definition and mine.

You're missing the point! When Bush was president, you and other

we hadn't had an attack since 9/11. So it stands that Obama is doing a

Obama is keeping us safe from the evil terrorists, just like the right
claimed Bush was doing because there wasn't an attack after 9/11

You are correct. That's another thing I can add to the list of great
Obama accomplishments.


Yup, it's great that Bush spent 8 years softening them up:) snerk

Bush killed at least 100,000 people. He also allowed 3000+ U.S.
civilians to be killed.

I think the Bush Admin. already took care of the heavy lifting... Using
your analogy, my Doctor has kept me safe from bubonic plague..


Your party was the one claiming that Bush was keeping us safe. And the
reasoning was because there hadn't been an attack since 9/11. SO, it's a
simple analogy that Obama is keeping us safe also. But, I honestly
suspected that you'd figure out a way to spin it so that Bush is the
hero, and Obama hasn't done anything. Typical and expected.


So, please tell me what Obama has done besides put our CIA on notice
that they are going to be busted for doing their jobs? snerk Guess
Obama took care of those nasty Nazi's too.. Oh, and don't forget the
Spartans!!! You know he has been keeping us safe from them too...

Loogy, I think you're correct on this one. 'Bama has done a super job
at preventing terrorist attacks. Of course, there's no such thing as a
terrorist attack, but he's been successful in preventing 'man made
disasters' also.

And, I've not caught bubonic plague either!

You're missing the point! When Bush was president, you and other
righties made frequent comments about how safe he was keeping us because
we hadn't had an attack since 9/11. So it stands that Obama is doing a
great job at it too. I made several comments about how lame that
reasoning was.


So you don't think chasing them around the middle east with targets on
their heads for 8 years slowed them down, just a little?

Oh my goodness. You may be right again, although I can't remember
*ever* uttering a comment about how safe Bush was keeping us. Perhaps
you could find even *one* example of such?

And, I've done nothing *but* agree that 'Bama is doing a super job at
keeping us safe from man made disasters.

What the hell more do you want?


Yeah, me either but don't let that stop anybody from stereotyping us,

Yeah, like starting a war to inflame the Islamic world. A war of choice, a
war where 1000s of our men and women died for no reason.

Your doctor didn't keep you safe. It was institutions such as the CDC..
gov't run agencies.


The CDC is an information clearing house and policy producing
organization. The CDC is not on the leading edge of research.

He is talking about when Sudan offered up Bin Laden and Clinton didn't
know what we could charge him with so he didn't act.

Personally I think we should have just sent a team of Africans (with
plausible deniability to the US) in there to shoot him in the head but
I may be too pragmatic.



I recall something like that.. I don't have a big argument against finishing

The interesting thing to me was said on Anderson Cooper the other
night from Afghanistan. It turns out we don't even think Bin Laden is
there anymore and that the Taliban has absolutely no global
aspirations. Their connection to Al Queda is tenuous at best.



I thought it was pretty clear that bin laden is in Pakistan. He left Tora
Bora, right...

Saddam said about 20,000 died in the "no fly zone" bombings. We denied
it but we really didn't have any way to prove him wrong. We were
shooting missiles into residential areas to suppress Iraqi radar sites
on a pretty regular basis. I have to believe some people died, even if
it was just radar operators. I understand Saddam put his people at
risk by locating these sites in residential areas but we still shot at
them.
At a certain point you have to admit these were still acts of war.
That is why I say Iraq is an 18 year war, spanning 4 presidents now.
That is the kind of record you expects out of 14th century European
monarchies



I wouldn't believe Saddam on most anything. He actually lied about the WMDs,
I guess mostly to keep the Iranians at bay.
