Talking Point--No terrorist attack in the US in 5 years:
Isn't easy to counter this by just saying, there were none before they took power?

I'd say it's pretty easy to keep score if that's the way they want to do it.

1. No, but the worst one we've had was only eight months into Bush's first term.

15. The Republicans do not want to talk about the right wing Anthrax killer.
The Anthrax killer appears the attacker that has struck after 9-11-2001.

We should remind Republicans that we have had an attack since 9-11-2001.

The Anthrax Killer only sent anthrax to Democratic Senators.

The Bush administration has not caught him either.

Besides you cannot call a party strong on national defense and terrorism when the 9-11 attacks happened in THEIR watch.

2. We haven't been hit by a large meteorite, either.
Does that mean Bush is the anti-meteor-president?

3. To that idiotic talking point, I simply say: "They don't have to attack us
over here anymore; Bush sent Americans over THERE for them to kill. Terrorists no longer have to plan, fund and carry out risky attacks on American soil. They no longer have to attend flight schools, forge passports, or try to board commercial air flights with weapons. They no longer require millions of dollars in support from Saudi oil barons. They no longer need to do any of that. They just need to pick up an AK and cross the nearest border into Iraq.

Bush made it SO incredibly easy for the terrorists to kill Americans. Why bother hopping on a plane?

14. That's right, and we caught the perps without using tanks, planes, bombs
napalm, white phosphorus or depleted uranium. We used law enforcement personnel. Ever notice that when we HAVE caught terrorists, like WTC I, OK City, and London, July 7th, it was with law enforcement personnel? Exactly the people B*sh said we SHOULDN'T use, because he wanted to get his war on?

5. USA went 220 years without a major Al Qaeda attack
So what? Time means nothing.

Al Qaeda takes 3-5 years between attacks.

Blah, blah, blah.
