Any why exactly is it that we haven't?

Is it because of how much tighter Bush hasn't made our borders?

Is it because of the still un-upgraded FBI computers that hindered 9/11?

Is it because of the bloody sectarian civil war in Iraq?

Or is it because they haven't yet chosen the time and place to upstage 9/11?

Listen to the former Bin Laden expert from the CIA and he'll tell you this is precisely the reason. They went 8 years between attacks the last time...what makes you think they're in a hurry?

In fact, with how our country has been behaving the past 4 years, and the current challenges in Iran and North Korea...al Qaeda doesn't really need to hit us at home...yet.

Do you watch the news? Two weeks ago we stopped a potential major attack designed to blow up numerous jetliners over major cities here in the US. And you say nothing has gotten better since 9/11?? I even heard we wire tapped these dirt bags, you know, that stuff you and youe lefty buddies oppose so much. And you wonder why the American people don't trust the left on National Security!?

Yep, and it was a multi-national effort of law enforcement that still (to my knowledge) hasn't been attributed to alQaeda directly...

So much for fighting them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here

Skipper, it's an INSURGENCY...

Who cares if thier Al Qaeda or not? Al Qeada, Hezolah, Hamas, local homegrown cells, etc. are all radical terrosist groups, Al Qaeada is but one threat we face, the others are just as dangerous. And of course, they have one thing in common, Radical Islam! The fact is, a major attack that was to be carried out by radical Islam was stopped because of the great work done by the Brits, US and tips from Pakistan. But you still spew your propoganda about how we arent safer. Sounds to me like what we're doing is working buddy!
