A State Department report, entitled "Patterns of Global Terrorism 2002," said terrorist attacks around the world declined from 355 in 2001 to 199 in 2002, a drop of 44 percent. The department said this was the lowest level in terrorism since 1970

But, but, but, we were focused on Iraq for most of 2002 and the democrats insisted we couldn't pay attention to Al Qaida at the same time! I mean, jeez, we all know the US military can't do two things at once! What's going on here?

This is the one part of the report that I take seriously since it cites a State Department report and not the World Tribune's "sources".

It is amazing to see the difference in management style and accomplishment between an Arkansas law school graduate and a Texan with an Ivy League MBA. One was focused on BS appearances and empty rhetoric, the other on seamless coordination of national security assets.
