Just when you thought the news couldn't scare you anymore...

Stop being so scared. Besides, according to the Shaw Report:

In: Pirates
Five Minutes Ago: Terrorists
Out: Communists

;)
 
Clinton kept us safe too. As long as you ignore the worst day in American history...Bush kept us safe.
After the initial attack on the twin towers, Bill Clinton did a good job of keeping us safe.
Tho, I do wish he would have responded with more force after the USS Cole and the attacks on our embassies...
 
Look, at the end of the day it was a foreign attack early in their Presidency. From that day forward, there were no more attacks on our domestic land

The terrorists are going to attack again... And I don't think Obama's proposed policies on domestic safety are the best way to go

You can't say that. Don't you know that everything from the common cold to cancer will now be eradicated once he's crowned, err, sworn into office?

No doubt...

I don't know what expectations are for this man as commander in chief... On the one hand, the public opinion of our current President is horrible AND the new guy not almost killing himself with a pretzel would seem to be an improvement
On the other, I really do think some people expect this man to wave a magic wand and solve all our problems once and for all.

I will give the man credit for realizing his stance on the Iraq was questionable by nominating the NSA, SecState and SecDef that he has.
 
I believe it. The US is to scared to do what we truly need to do in order to scare the pants off these little terrorist so of course they are going to keep coming after us with worse and worse weapons.

Maybe when we start incinerating a couple million of them with nukes then they will finally get the message that play time is over when it comes to attacking the US and leave us alone.

Being nice to them and trying to spread democracy sure aint working so maybe a couple of nukes will!
 
They've been harping on about how the terrorists are going to kill us all since 9/11. The media does it for ratings and the government does it so they can scare us into letting them pass questionable legislation.

Agreed.

Fear has been both the media's and Dubya's best friend.

And the thing is, where there's a will, there's a way. If they REALLY want to pull off another terrorist attack, they will. And nothing we can do will stop them.

And there is simply no point in worrying about something we can't do anything about.

I'm truthfully more worried about the economy with the baby boomers moving into retirement than another terrorist attack. Talk about some grim prospects.
