If an attack happens, it will be like the Bush Administration has said all along. You cannot prevent all the attacks. And if someone is intent on killing themselves, those are even harder to prevent... [more clipped]

They all said that we have to be lucky 100% of the time, the terrorist only have to be lucky once.

That said, but had processes, techniques, and methods in place to prevent another attack (within the law). I'm afraid that Obama will dismantle the protections that Bush put in place, making us all more vulnerable than we've been in the past.

You said — “That said, but had processes, techniques, and methods in place to prevent another attack (within the law). I’m afraid that Obama will dismantle the protections that Bush put in place, making us all more vulnerable than we’ve been in the past.”

Back in 1998, I remember reading about the declaration of war upon the U.S. by Osama in Ladin. The overwhelming majority of the public didn’t know and didn’t care. And if they did know, they just laughed...

The ones who weren’t laughing were the experts and the military people and some others in government and in Congress, as they held hearings back then on the issue and said (in those hearings) that something needed to be done.

And about that time Steven Emerson and his information about the terrorists came out and he was literally “blackballed” from the news and was hammered on for being a hate-monger, against the “peace-loving Muslims” (which I hope people have finally changed their minds about that, by now...).

So, if there is any kind of problem, it’s a problem with the public and their *apathy* and *complacency*....

That will get them “dead” in short order.
