we haven't been attacked SINCE 9-11, does bushco deserve credit?

[mopaul]

this notion is proposed by some on the right, that bushco is doing a darn good job of protecting us from terrorists, the proof, no attacks in 2 1/2 years. do they indeed deserve our praise for protecting the homeland? i report, you decide.

[PunkinPi]

1. fuck no, no credit.

[bowens43]

2. Huh? No freaking way.

Domestic terror attacks have always been few and far between.

[Az]

3. When were we attacked before 9/11

Its not like Bush stopped a trend. We got hit. Once. Not getting hit again is not a sign that Bush and company made a difference. What we have had is endless days of Bush and Co running around screaming the sky is falling.

Two men standing on a corner. One man is tearing up little peaces of paper and tossing them in the air.
Curious Man: What are you doing?
Paper Man: I'm keeping the elephants away.
Curious Man: Elephants? There aren't any elephants around here.
Paper Man: See, it works.

[Caution]

4. How many attacks prior to Bush's administration?

How many attackes were there prior to Bush's administration? What was the frequency of such attacks? This is a crock of sh*t argument and the administration knows it.

[MsChiff]

16. and how long were the plans for 9-11 in the works?

They planned that attack for yeeeeeaaaaarrrrrsss! If he thinks he is preventing them from thinking up another one to be carried out years down the road, he's..... well..... not thinking, as usual.

[Bandit]

30. How do you know they planned for years? Or for that matter who they were?

All I ever hear is speculation. You have proof of who planned the attack and how many years they planned. They may have planned it in a matter of days or weeks. Remember it happened on Bush*'s watch and he had plenty of fore-warnings about the attack. He has not kept America safer and probably made many Americans much less safe, what with Freepers saying Democrats are Enemies of America. He is directly responsible for a Great Division in America and much hatred.

5. 9/11 happended b/c of bushco

b/c of Bush, Condi, and perhaps even Prescott Bush & Bush Sr.
but they are covering that up now.

[AngryWhiteDemocrat]

6. We've been attacked since 9/11

Anthrax.

[sable302]

8. Oh yes, and the anthrax

I forgot about that. :eyes:

[EOTE]

24. And it hasn't been two and a half years.....

It's been 22 months. What, do you think the White House should have a big sign up by the front steps saying (It's been 658 days since the last terrorist attack caused by gross administration incompetance which needlessly killed thousands of Americans).

Clinton was President 8 years and he oversaw the first WTC bombing, the Cole bombing and the Oklahoma City Building bombing. In all, a small fraction of the Americans died than under shrub's watch, and his term is only a little more than half over. I will not give credit for not having terrorist attack, I will give blame for having them however. 9/11 shouldn't have happened, the blood of those who died is on the bush admin's hands.

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. So did Bush

After all, the chosen anthrax targets were "liberals" like Tom Brokaw and Pat Leahy. No cause for alarm there :eyes:

[sable302]

7. That's not entirely true

There have been several attacks in different parts of the world. Just none in the good ol USofA.

[Braden]

9. good one Mo.

but we had few significant terror attacks prior to 9-11, Oklahoma City was bombed by republican Tim McVeigh. In all no, I don't think anyone deserves credit for no Significant attacks in a 20 month period.

[trof]

10. Doing a great job of keeping the tigers away, too.

Haven't seen any tigers in the neighborhood since he took (and I DO mean "TOOK") office.
Good job dumbya*!

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

11. They deserve credit

for even making us ask if they deserve credit. This is a preemptive discussion before the 9-11 report comes out. They are carefully constructing a defense. This is just one of the bricks in the wall.

[oregonjen]

12. Protecting the homeland?

We have been attacked. The environment, economy, job losses, health care, etc. etc. Bushco attacks us daily.

[pansypoo53219]

INDEED

why should Osama attack, when the simian is doing his job for him, AND the chimp attacks one of the leaders he hated TOO! why should he attck Bush, bush got rid of Sadaam for him and well, here comes another sharia state!

[asjr]

13. attacks

The "terraists" don't need to attack. They are allowing Bushco to do the destruction for them. And damn fine job they are doing!

[Ekaterina]

14. give it time

I'm sure that, as a result of that asshole's meandering around the globe like a drunken warlord, what happens next will make 9-11 look like a weenie roast.

In fact, I'm kind of surprised that we haven't had SOMETHING (more significant than the threat that they're going to crank up the civil defense sirens every time Tom decides on a new daily color)....I guess if the Niger business gets REALLY sticky and it begins to look like Chimpy and Chumpy and the rest of them might have to be held accountable THEN we'll have another attack.....

and of course there's always the CNN who-should-we-attack-next poll to keep us nauseated with fear.

[northzax]

15. yup, just as soon

as they take the blame for the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon, as well as the Anthrax attacks. You cannot take the credit for good things that happen on your watch without taking the blame for the bad things.

[ObaMania]

17. Sure they deserve credit...

.. for not orchestrating, or otherwise knowing of and allowing evildoers to perform another terror attack!

Of course this may change in the Fall!

JMO

[caledesi]

22. Great pic, AHG! Tex Baxter, uh no it's GWB. Same thing.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

18. Shoe bomber, Anthrax, DC sniper, AA587,....

the list is long. Should I continue?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

19. Major Al Queda attacks...

have always been spaced 1 1/2 - 2 years apart.

If we haven't had an American target attacked within the next year or so then I might say there has been some success on that front. MIGHT.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. We Weren't Attacked for 60 Years Prior

Who do we credit for that?

Nobody gets credit for nothing happening. How could anyone be credited for the non-existence of an event?
The Professor

[kcordell]

25. 60 Years Prior To What?

Am I mistaken or wasn't the WTC bombed a few years ago by terrorists?

[Az]

26. Domestic

Rather than foreign assault.

[ElementaryPenguin]

27. Certainly! They deserve credit for LIHOPing or MIHOPing 9-11!!

From which every BFEE/PNAC Mob policy of theirs has flowed!!!
MONSTROUS MOTHER FUCKERS!! :puke:

[AntiCoup2K4]

29. These criminal psychotic pieces of shit

...Got the "new PERLE Harbor" (not a typo) that their treasonous agenda called for. If Dip W. Shit's popularity falls below 50% due to his own lies and criminal arrogance, there will be another one. And I fear this one will be much worse. All they have to do is throw some nuclear weapons into the mix and all the sheep will believe that it was the AWOL Saddam Hussein and his (non existent) WMD's that are to blame. :grr:

[rhino91063]

31. WHAT THE H*LL?!? WHAT ABOUT OUR BOYS IN IRAQ

They are Americans too you know!

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

35. Yes, and they are attacked every day

While Bush's kids party it up in New York, with cushy jobs they got from their last name.

How many more Americans will die before we send Bush to prison where he belongs?

[rhino91063]

32. WHAT THE H*LL?!? WHAT ABOUT OUR BOYS IN IRAQ

They are Americans too you know!

[rhino91063]

33. WHAT THE H*LL?!? WHAT ABOUT OUR BOYS IN IRAQ

They are Americans too you know!

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

34. Thanks for not giving us a SECOND attack

Really, thanks a lot, Bush.

Will Rice admit they "have an idea" now?

[jos]

36. Shot their load

I really think Al-Qaeda shot their load with 9/11. It's a one-time event unlikely to be repeated, at least not on that scale.
