Given that 9/11 happened on 9/11/2001, there weren’t any further terrorist attacks on US soil during the remainder of Bush’s terms, either. I’m sure that the math escapes you, but that means Bush actually accrued more time than Obama without incident.

2 pretty serious “terroristic attacks” come to mind immediately.
The Anthrax attack. Remember, we still don’t know who did this. People died. People were TERRIFIED. Terrified over a sustained period of time.
The other one that immediately comes to mind is the DC Snipers. Again – people were TERRIFIED. Again, over a sustained period of time. Afraid to go to Home Depot etc… People were hiding in their houses. Malvo got the death sentance BECAUSE it was considered an act of Terror, legally.
Granted – neither were committed by muslim extremists from other countries (as far as I know)… but both fully qualify as terrorist attacks.
There are a lot more incidents, some thwarted… but those two are biggies that count.
I’m not defending Bush or Obama. Not giving credit to one “side” or the other. Unlike Brian, I don’t see this as a team thing where you pick a team to root for and ignore any faults of that team.
And yes, Allan, I’m a liberal. Feel free to attack me on that basis. Usually you offer fact filled posts… not this time.[/quote]
UCGal: Attack you because you’re a liberal? Perish the throught. I have absolutely nothing against liberals and I think its one of the most beautiful words in the English language. Nope, nothing against liberals; its Leftists that I cannot stand.
I also should have been more clear when discussuing “terrorist” attacks and you make a good point with your use of the Anthrax attacks and the DC snipers. I meant terrorist attacks like 9/11 and executed by Islamic jihadists like al-Qaeda.
My major beef with that sententious nitwit’s posting was that it was utterly bereft of any history, context and fact.

Participant[quote=Arraya]Yeah – because it’s natural that the first thing you do when you kill the man you’ve been hunting for more than a decade…and spent billions in finding him….you destroy any scrap of evidence of the killing by quickly disposing of the body.[/quote]
Thank you.
There were rumors OBL was sick. Maybe his family has him on a death bed in Saudi and agreed to let the U.S. kill him (wink-wink) and dispose of the body.
Just strange the way it was handled. I just talked to someone late last night who was tied up w/work for 2 days w/no radio or tv. Told her he’s dead. Reaction was surprise and excitement, “Wow. Really?” “Oh, and they dumped his body at sea.” Response: “Then I don’t believe it.”
I travel in variable circles. And all those circles have had different outlooks on politics, economy, real estate, etc. Interesting that the first reaction from most on this is disbelief.
