Jihadists reaching US targets after 9/11: Obama 5, Bush 0 (soldier, Barack Obama, March)

[All American NYC]

“In barely four years in office, five jihadists have reached their targets in the United States under Barack Obama: the Boston Marathon bomber, the underwear bomber, the Times Square Bomber, the Fort Hood shooter, and in my own state—the Little Rock recruiting office shooter,” Cotton said. “In the over seven years after 9/11 under George W. Bush, how many terrorists reached their target in the United States? Zero! We need to ask, ‘Why is the Obama Administration failing in its mission to stop terrorism before it reaches its targets in the United States?’”

The score card doesn't lie.

Obama is a failed President that much is becoming clear.

How many US citizens died on US soil under Bush's watch as a result of terrorism?

How many US citizens died on US soil under Obama's watch as a result of terrorism?

I rest my case.

Yea, I'll bet your case makes the people in Boston feel better and makes Americans feel safe.

Osama Bin Laden is dead and we live in a safer world.. so Obama says.

Please explain why you exclude 9/11? The Times Square Bomber was stopped. Fort Hood was a US soldier. Your argument fails!

So the "test" is how many people die? Not how many terrorists are successful in breaching the system?

Liberals and liberalism are the scum of the Earth. A vile, disgusting, and rotten ideology to the core. See the above for your evidence.

OK, so which would you rather endure:

One terrorist attack that kills almost 3,000 people

or

Five terrorist attacks that cumulatively kill fewer than 20 people

?

Shouldn't all terrorist attacks concern us? A domestic terrorist and a jihadist have the same murderous intentions after all.

2001 anthrax attacks
Midwest pipe bombing May 2002
El Al icket counter shooting at Los Angeles Airport July 2002
Beltway Sniper Attacks October 2002
Times square bombing March 2008
Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting July 2008
Dalton Georgia bombing October 2008

9/11 was a colossal failure of government. We knew an attack was planned, we knew what some of the targets were, we knew roughly when the attack was going to take place, we had policies to deal with hijackings, those policies were not followed, when Bush was informed of the attack he finished reading to children. --- Maybe he needed an alibi.

Was there an equivalent failure under Obama? For the life of me I don't know why shootings are being counted as terrorism.
