For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Lieberman warns of 2009 terrorist attack!
In describing the reasons he believes the Republicans' presumptive nominee for president would be better prepared than the Democrats' to lead the nation next January, Sen. Joe Lieberman said that history shows the United States would likely face a terrorist attack in 2009. "Our enemies will test the new president early," Lieberman, I-Conn., told Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. "Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."
Despite the likely political nature of this statement, is he right? Is this true only if Obama wins in November, or will al Qaeda offer a shot across the bow irrespective of who's in the White House? Does this make it even more imperative that bin Laden finally gets captured or killed?
