I have yet to understand how they seem to be "increasing" when their own numbers say we've knocked off 2000 of them!

Argue with Ashcroft. He's holding a press conference today, warning about terrorism this summer. Maybe this Strategic Studies report is on to something after all.

We did not have any news conferences warning of terror attacks before 911...therefore we were safer/sarcasm...

I am appalled that anyone in America would gloat over news of a terror warning in order to try and justify a viewpoint.

I think the chances that we only killed 2,000 Al-Qaida in Afghanistan are about zip, but let's say it's true. If Roosevelt had come out and said, "Hey, we killed 4% of the Japanese troops, no need to worry about sabotuers or submarines any more," would he have been hauled to the loony bin? You bet!

Percentage of reduction in Al-Qaida according to that figure: 4%

Percentage by year of terror attacks on U.S. soil:
2001: 100%
2002: 0%
2003: 0%
2004: 0%

Percentage reduction in terrorists harbored by Hussein regime: 100%

Percentage reduction in terrorists trained by Hussein regime: 100%

Percentage reduction in terrorists funded by Hussein regime: 100%

Nope, no disadvantage to the terrorists there...
