Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
Why bother?
We have tied ourselves in knots, wasted billions on Iraq, they have our full attention, we are gutting the American system of true freedoms without help from them. So, if you were bin ladin why bother? He got us all wound up and now he can just watch us fall all over our own feet. |

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
Please provide some examples to back up this "post".
Show me why the money spent on Iraq has been wasted. I will show you people voting in free elections as proof it's not being wasted, can you counter that in any sane way? Show me how we are "gutting the American system of true freedoms". Last I checked I can do MORE than I could do pre-9/11. But lets simply repeat what others say because we don't like Bush. I can't believe that people equally believe that Al-Qaeda has CHOSE not to attack and that we are fighting a successful campaign. NEWSFLASH there have been NUMEROUS incidents of international, Al Qaeda sponsored terrorist attacks since 9/11. NONE in the US, whom Al Qaeda has INSISTED is thier number one enemy. To believe that the war on terror is NOT the reason they have not attacked is so incredibly ignorant that I am sickened that people who know how to spell choose to believe that it's in fact Al Qaeda's decision NOT to attack that is the reason for the lack of attacks. |

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
The same reason that there wasn't a "9/11" before 9/11. Anti-american terrorists certainly existed long before that, didn't the same group try to hit the WTC and FAIL, a long time before 9/11?
I think difference between the terrorist threat and the capability of the US to protect/monitor/defend against terror attacks on our land is much greater than the general fear and hysteria makes it to be... In poker terms "they hit a two outer on the river" and we even had enough intel availible to stop it, but the process got mucked up. Also now the funding available for terrorists has been targeted on a worldwide basis, so that has a crippling effect on their ability to create terror. |

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
Well the onus has to be on the spender to show that the project was justified, that WE gained more than it cost.
The project was sold to protect us from the many known WMDs in Iraq, from the notion that Saddam and OBL were shacked up planning the demise of America, from the uses that yellow cake from Niger was going to be used to blow up Chicago. All these were unfounded. They were known to be unfounded by everyone (including many posters on this forum and including, IMO, the administration) yet the money was spent. To take the one point you offer: [ QUOTE ] I will show you people voting in free elections as proof it's not being wasted, can you counter that in any sane way? [/ QUOTE ] This has no value to the American taxpayer. At least no value that has been clearly and convincingly explained. |
