People who hate Obama say that he is a Muslim and he has nothing to do with keeping America safe.

People who love Obama say that he is competent unlike Bush so his leadership skills are superior. That is the reason we haven't been attacked yet according to the Obama fans.

What say you?

I wanted to see blind luck as a choice but selected inept terrorists since it is much the same thing.

terrorists are more patient than we are...so what if it takes 10 years to attack again ? It will be a doozie. some people will find it hard to forgive the us government for what it does in the name of so called "liberation." most of the "terrists" caught recently are just schmoes...shills....

Question?

So the attacks that have failed were not attacks?

Should be posted as successful attacks. There have been many attempts and plots. IMO we ain't seen nothin yet. Do you feel as free today as you did before 911?

Most plots were broken up. Last weeks attempt was a pretty bad attempt. I am not undermining the fact that some douche bag tried to kill innocent people because of the stupid ideology he has about life and what happens after death. But it was a pretty amature bomb. They even said if it did kind of work, the car would have caught fire and the fire department would have had it out before the propane tanks even were close to exploding.

But, I am going to go live my life and not duct tape my house tonight. I don't live in fear. The Bush years were all about fear. I could worry about terrorist and die in a car wreck tomorrow.
