Why haven’t there been any terrorist attacks in the United States since 9/11?
I believe there are a few contributing factors.
First, contrary to what many in this country would like us to believe, our military efforts in the Middle East have had very positive affects. The leadership of Al Qaeda has been disrupted through the outright elimination of these individuals or the detaining of them. Those in the organization that have attempted to step in to fill the void have their hands full in attempting to prevent Democracy from taking root in their own backyards. At the very least, it has made it difficult for them to successfully organize another 9/11 style attack.
Secondly, the massive “success” of the 9/11 operation shook the world. The terrorists know they can get a lot of mileage from such an action. So they let it be, and have had us live in fear of another attack, while expending untold resources ensuring that it doesn’t happen again.
Third, the terrorists have “set the bar” with 9/11. They don’t see a car bomb in midtown Manhattan as being a worthy effort. They intend to strike us again on a level that dwarfs 9/11. Perhaps simultaneous 9/11 type actions that kill tens of thousands. Maybe biological. Maybe nuclear. Either way, this is unquestionably their intent. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
Which brings me to my last point. Anyone (are you listening MSM, Pelosi, Reid, et. al.?) who provides aid and comfort to the enemy by undermining our military, their goals and our Commander in Chief during a time of war is a seditionist at best, and a traitor at worst. The actions of these individuals must never be forgotten. I, for one, will hold them personally responsible in the event of another attack on our soil.
Looking at the situation realistically and historically, there has been dissention and differences of opinions during any war. What is happening today goes beyond that. What is happening today is unparalleled in this nation’s history. This country has fallen into a blind, liberal driven, misinformed, politically correct black hole from which I fear we may never emerge.

Excellent post Jimbo. I agree with you. And I would go one step further. I believe there are some on the Left who are so full of hatred, bile and a lust for power that they would love to see another attack on America so they can say the attack was Bush's fault and the fault of Republicans and use it for political gains in 2008.
I'm all for an honest debate. Too bad no one on the Left is.
Right now an attack on the US would be counter-productive to the terrorist cause. They know they cannot beat us militarily, but they can achieve a perception of victory if we tuck our tails and run. The democrat congress is doing their best to ensure that this takes place. A terrorist attack would strengthen public resolve to the point that the democrats & MSM could never sway them into supporting a cut and run policy.

Jerry – I think your point is a sound and strategically valid one. However, I may have to disagree with it. What I mean to say is, I don’t think the terrorists agree with you. It’s a fact that there have been plans for terrorist activity on Americans that have been thwarted by the American and British intelligence forces which leads me to believe they are trying. These are not sane people. I have to believe that if they have the opportunity to detonate a dirty bomb in the NY financial district, or release a biological agent in downtown LA, I’m thinking that they are going to jump at the chance.

Curse Congress and the Administration for this game they are playing with our military. I cannot express in words my disgust and burning contempt for both Congress and the Administration for this spectacle that is being played out regarding funding this war. While these politicians dance their power dance, soldiers and their families suffer. The Army, that I am apart of, is incapable of saying that it cannot perform a mission. We are neck deep in this war right now and the money has virtually stopped. THE WAR HASN’T STOPPED. “So what happens?” you may ask. Well, the Army cuts funding for everything else in the Army (and rightly so) to support those in the field. These cuts in funding in every other area of the Army affect everyone, and especially screws families. One example is family housing on Army bases loses (sorry I don’t have a figure) much funding (I know because things don’t get fixed when they break now). It is always those in uniform who are asked to make just one more sacrifice for the war (and we proudly make those sacrifices, often with heavy hearts) like extending second and third tours from 12 months to 15 months. I don’t see any of these power-thirsty demagogues in Congress making ANY sacrifices (as they try to squeeze a couple 100 million into the war supplemental to fund their presidential nominating conventions). It is despicable and, in my opinion, criminal. Curse them.
Sorry for flying off the handle there. I just needed to let off a little steam before I got back to work. God bless our soldiers.

Coming to TVs all across America, a sequel to the movie When Harry Met Sally, which is a story about a couple who don’t find love for 13 years.
The TV sequel is called WhenHarry Met Nancy, But Not Petraeus, which is a story about a couple who find hate for the military over 6 years, and decide to kill the military’s messenger by refusing to meet with him.
It is a heart-warming story of back-stabbing, denial, and slow-bleeding the military to a point that they can no longer defend themselves.
You will see thousands of Iraqis slaughtered as Harry and Nancy proclaim: “we now have peace in our time”.

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dadV
Can anyone explain----not just the tolerance of violating the immigration laws, but the encouragement by American citizens to do so. Why do these people challenge the laws of our country? I understand the sympathy, I do not understand why people actually WANT and ENCOURAGE illegal immigration.
Don't these abbettors realize they are giving away what belongs to all Americans? They have no right to do that. Why is our Federal government not arresting these people (e.g. the mayor of Oakland)?
And do these people know that Mexico boasts an unemplyment rate of 3% because they send all their no-low -skill people to the USA? There is a slow down in the construction industry at present. This will result in fewer jobs for illegal immigrants. Fewer jobs results in an increased crime rate. Be it upon their heads, not mine.
The two biggest issues, (at the current moment), to me, are Iraq and illegal immigration. If I break the law, I am confident I will be, if not arrested, charged with a crime and have to answer for it in a court of law. How can these violators, those who provide sanctuary, get away with it? But I go back to the basic question--why do some Americans welcome illegal immigrants? I have recently been involved in discussions with associates and I am amazed at how strongly they feel that we should just be quiet about it. It also has been my experience that those who feel we should tolerate or allow these people to come, stand to gain financially from illegal immigrants.
I am not a xenophobe nor do I have any prejudices dealing with immigration or race, ethnic background or religion, so long as people live by the laws. I do have a distinct prejudice about ILLEGAL immigrants.
The problem for me is the Dems don't want you to call them Illegal. That means they have committed a crime. This means they are not suppose to be here. They want us to call them Undocumented Workers. To me that's like calling a pusher an unlicensed pharmacist.
PC is making a come back.

What a good analogy---then the people who want to excuse them are like drug addicts. They are into a bad habit that may ruin their lives and the lives around them.
And supplying the needle, allowing them hospital stays to make them comfortable, feed them when hungry, and allow them a place to stay, forever, in Oakland and SF. If the illegals are as smart as our friendly apologists suggests, then they would certainly migrate to the Oakfrancisco area and live off the socialist workers commune established there.

I'm probably expressing a minority opinion here, but I was hoping ABC wouldn't fire Rosie from the View. (or that she would leave, if you believe that scenario). Let me 'splain.
The longer Rosie spewed her hatefilled, misinformed, Bush Derangement Syndrome bile on that show, the more notariety it received, which in turn gave conservatives an unmissable target (pun intended) to point to for displaying the rantings of the loony left.
I'm hoping for more of the same from her when she co-hosts, or by whoever replaces her. Let them just continue to setup easy targets.
Agree totally. Much better for her to vomit the true leftist ideology into the laps of the public so they can see the putridness and be sickened by the stench.

Ronald Reagn- 40th Anniversary of D-Day
Have you seen Hillary's new complaint? Something on the order of "The President refuses to work the the Dims on a strategy of getting out of IRAQ". Kinda misses the point, doesn't it? She's complaining that he doesn't agree with them, and therefore, it's all his fault that Congress can't come up with a supplimental war funding bill that the President will sign.
Earth to Hillary -- how about rephrasing the issue as coming up with a way of winning the war in IRAQ?
The President and Congressional Republicans need to agressively re-frame this debate; otherwise the Dims will continue to win the propaganda war with the clueless public.
I have the distinct displeasure of posting this little item today. The House and Senate just approved the War Spending Bill. As a military spouse, I'm both resigned and angry over the sheer gullibility and cravenness of the American people and their sponsors. You got your wish and President Bush will issue his veto.
I have a message to the gullible trolls, American people, and stupid politicians: I don't buy your "I support the troops" assertions when all you seek to do is enable terrorists and disable our military. You won't be content until you see our military rot and disgraced. Please stop blaming Pres. Bush for "crippling" our troops when you did the very same thing yourselves. Here's another suggestion: shut your lying mouths and stop voicing empty platitudes...
Americans are good at saying what they support until the chips are down. Then they freak out like it's Vietnam (uh, different war, different era, same gullible people/politics) all over again. What do you people want...our military to slink home with its tail between its legs or our military to stay, train the Iraqi military, and kick Al Qaeda and the insurgents to the curb? If you want withdrawal, then please, also ask for us to leave the following countries: Japan, Germany, the UK, South Korea, and Kosovo.

bass I was hesitant to put my real desires down. I did not want the FBI at my door within the hour.
Some of the things she said the President said have to be false or GW decided to commit political suicide. He "forbids" money to help dying children or words to that effect. Good Heavens, woman, get a grip.
misterbill...that woman gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "speaks with forked tongue.." I seriously doubt that this woman can distinguish between reality and her fantasies.

With a spouse in the line of fire, I understand your anger and agree wholeheartedly, emjem24. The Democrats have become the party of anti-American cowards. They're sending their defeatist messages loud and clear to our enemies, and it's hard to find words to adequately express my disgust. If I had my way, many politicans and media fools would be standing trial for treason.

Anybody else going to watch the enemy within tonight, to see what we have to fight?
Was bad enough today listening to the Senate floor speeches coming from the enemy with...let alone the leftist msm yesterday trying to down-play the stock market, Ecuador pulling out of the WTO (whom I have no love for) but that may lead to bigger countries with a debt pulling out, and Murtha's BS against McCain yesterday, the complete BS with what Giuliani said as something bad, when it was the truth, and to top it off, I caught the communistic spewing coming from Ubermann last night, the whole vile tirade.
The House and Senate sold us out again with their troop withdrawal vote.
I hope the pay for this...it is treasonous because of their agenda for power, hatred for President Bush and his administration, and the pure hatred that seethes through every pour of their worthless bodies....with no care one bit for whose blood spills...as long as it isn't theirs.
I am not a happy person...I detest the left with everything I have in me.
Over on Drudge there is a link to YouTube with Matthews interviewing Mrs. Edwards, he is asking why Pres. Bush was in such a hurry to get to Virginia Tech. Check it out folks it will make you sick.
Since we still have poverty with us, when are the Dems going to declare that the war on poverty has been lost and abandon it?
How much military experience has Reid had in his lifetime? Aren't liberals always telling us that you can't represent something unless you are of it? Yet they are behind Reid in his declaration of loss. Why do they keep abandoning the things they claim others have to follow?

April 26, 2007 - 11:24 ET by FastEdAfter all the libs hand over their money to those who don't have, must share don't forget, who's going to bail them out? Can't send the NG, they don't even want an old battlewagon in the bay. Maybe they can get some help from Hamas? At that point maybe a replay of "Rolling Thunder"? That was a demolib demonstration if I recall. Rusk and Johnson had a hand it that, right?

Can anyone explain----
April 26, 2007 - 11:28 ET by misterbillCan anyone explain----not just the tolerance of violating the immigration laws, but the encouragement by American citizens to do so. Why do these people challenge the laws of our country? I understand the sympathy, I do not understand why people actually WANT and ENCOURAGE illegal immigration.
Don't these abbettors realize they are giving away what belongs to all Americans? They have no right to do that. Why is our Federal government not arresting these people (e.g. the mayor of Oakland)?
And do these people know that Mexico boasts an unemplyment rate of 3% because they send all their no-low -skill people to the USA? There is a slow down in the construction industry at present. This will result in fewer jobs for illegal immigrants. Fewer jobs results in an increased crime rate. Be it upon their heads, not mine.

April 26, 2007 - 11:36 ET by Airforce_5_OIt just urks me that a city in this country can openly say "Come to us and we will hide you. Come to us and we will fight to keep you here."
Has any one taken a look at how LA has turned out?

How can we get our laws enforced??
April 26, 2007 - 11:45 ET by misterbillThe two biggest issues, (at the current moment), to me, are Iraq and illegal immigration. If I break the law, I am confident I will be, if not arrested, charged with a crime and have to answer for it in a court of law. How can these violators, those who provide sanctuary, get away with it? But I go back to the basic question--why do some Americans welcome illegal immigrants? I have recently been involved in discussions with associates and I am amazed at how strongly they feel that we should just be quiet about it. It also has been my experience that those who feel we should tolerate or allow these people to come, stand to gain financially from illegal immigrants.
I am not a xenophobe nor do I have any prejudices dealing with immigration or race, ethnic background or religion, so long as people live by the laws. I do have a distinct prejudice about ILLEGAL immigrants.

April 26, 2007 - 12:03 ET by Airforce_5_OBill,
The problem for me is the Dems don't want you to call them Illegal. That means they have committed a crime. This means they are not suppose to be here. They want us to call them Undocumented Workers. To me that's like calling a pusher an unlicensed pharmacist.

April 26, 2007 - 12:13 ET by misterbillWhat a good analogy---then the people who want to excuse them are like drug addicts. They are into a bad habit that may ruin their lives and the lives around them.

April 26, 2007 - 12:44 ET by FastEdAnd supplying the needle, allowing them hospital stays to make them comfortable, feed them when hungry, and allow them a place to stay, forever, in Oakland and SF. If the illegals are as smart as our friendly apologists suggests, then they would certainly migrate to the Oakfrancisco area and live off the socialist workers commune established there.
'tis the price we pay for being taxed in the most generous country in the world.

April 26, 2007 - 13:03 ET by Airforce_5_OIt is a shame to watch our country slowly bleed to death from paper cuts. The Dems are buying votes in the Congress and outside by playing the gratuities game.

Rosie's Departure
April 26, 2007 - 11:16 ET by RedinaBlueStateI'm probably expressing a minority opinion here, but I was hoping ABC wouldn't fire Rosie from the View. (or that she would leave, if you believe that scenario). Let me 'splain.
The longer Rosie spewed her hatefilled, misinformed, Bush Derangement Syndrome bile on that show, the more notariety it received, which in turn gave conservatives an unmissable target (pun intended) to point to for displaying the rantings of the loony left.
I'm hoping for more of the same from her when she co-hosts, or by whoever replaces her. Let them just continue to setup easy targets.
What's the penalty for treason these days?

April 26, 2007 - 11:24 ET by JerryAgree totally. Much better for her to vomit the true leftist ideology into the laps of the public so they can see the putridness and be sickened by the stench.

April 26, 2007 - 12:03 ET by ThisnThatHave you seen Hillary's new complaint? Something on the order of "The President refuses to work the the Dims on a strategy of getting out of IRAQ". Kinda misses the point, doesn't it? She's complaining that he doesn't agree with them, and therefore, it's all his fault that Congress can't come up with a supplimental war funding bill that the President will sign.
Earth to Hillary -- how about rephrasing the issue as coming up with a way of winning the war in IRAQ?
The President and Congressional Republicans need to agressively re-frame this debate; otherwise the Dims will continue to win the propaganda war with the clueless public.
House and Senate Approve War Spending Bill
April 26, 2007 - 12:31 ET by emjem24I have the distinct displeasure of posting this little item today. The House and Senate just approved the War Spending Bill. As a military spouse, I'm both resigned and angry over the sheer gullibility and cravenness of the American people and their sponsors. You got your wish and President Bush will issue his veto.
I have a message to the gullible trolls, American people, and stupid politicians: I don't buy your "I support the troops" assertions when all you seek to do is enable terrorists and disable our military. You won't be content until you see our military rot and disgraced. Please stop blaming Pres. Bush for "crippling" our troops when you did the very same thing yourselves. Here's another suggestion: shut your lying mouths and stop voicing empty platitudes...
Americans are good at saying what they support until the chips are down. Then they freak out like it's Vietnam (uh, different war, different era, same gullible people/politics) all over again. What do you people want...our military to slink home with its tail between its legs or our military to stay, train the Iraqi military, and kick Al Qaeda and the insurgents to the curb? If you want withdrawal, then please, also ask for us to leave the following countries: Japan, Germany, the UK, South Korea, and Kosovo.

Some of the things she said the President said have to be false or GW decided to commit political suicide. He "forbids" money to help dying children or words to that effect. Good Heavens, woman, get a grip.
God help the USA!

April 26, 2007 - 15:23 ET by bassndudemisterbill...that woman gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "speaks with forked tongue.." I seriously doubt that this woman can distinguish between reality and her fantasies. She is delusional to think that those Islamists will leave us alone if we leave them alone. She is really not competent to hold the position she holds.

emjem24, I agree with your anger
April 26, 2007 - 15:21 ET by RJWith a spouse in the line of fire, I understand your anger and agree wholeheartedly, emjem24. The Democrats have become the party of anti-American cowards. They're sending their defeatist messages loud and clear to our enemies, and it's hard to find words to adequately express my disgust. If I had my way, many politicans and media fools would be standing trial for treason.
Stack Overflow Update
April 26, 2007 - 12:45 ET by emjem24In the it's either me or my computer category... I'm still getting the whole "Stack Overflow" error message every time I post something or log in/out or commute through the site.
Look, I have a very powerful laptop (a SONY) with all the latest software, updates, virus protection, etc. How come this whole Stack Overflow think affects me and one other person but nobody else?
It's time for a stack overflow revolt! C'mon, who's with me?

They sold us out again.
April 26, 2007 - 14:38 ET by bigtimerWell, are we all waiting with baited breath for the msnbs love-fest tonight?
They have their little time clock ticking away until the spectacular event happens!
WOW!
I heard Brian Williams say about an hour ago saying there would be no trick questions, no trying to trip them up kind of questions to these candidates...
NO KIDDING! I am shocked I tell ya...SHOCKED!
Can you all just hear the nattering blathering leftist idiots talking about who won...blah blah blah...
Anybody else going to watch the enemy within tonight, to see what we have to fight?
Was bad enough today listening to the Senate floor speeches coming from the enemy with...let alone the leftist msm yesterday trying to down-play the stock market, Ecuador pulling out of the WTO (whom I have no love for) but that may lead to bigger countries with a debt pulling out, and Murtha's BS against McCain yesterday, the complete BS with what Giuliani said as something bad, when it was the truth, and to top it off, I caught the communistic spewing coming from Ubermann last night, the whole vile tirade.
The House and Senate sold us out again with their troop withdrawal vote.
I hope the pay for this...it is treasonous because of their agenda for power, hatred for President Bush and his administration, and the pure hatred that seethes through every pour of their worthless bodies....with no care one bit for whose blood spills...as long as it isn't theirs.
I am not a happy person...I detest the left with everything I have in me.

April 27, 2007 - 05:56 ET by NonanonSince we still have poverty with us, when are the Dems going to declare that the war on poverty has been lost and abandon it?
How much military experience has Reid had in his lifetime? Aren't liberals always telling us that you can't represent something unless you are of it? Yet they are behind Reid in his declaration of loss. Why do they keep abandoning the things they claim others have to follow?
