How many attacks has our law enforcement and military stopped?

That's for our national security people to know and the terrorists to find out. Democrats aren't running the show meaning we don't have to brag in public about every victory. The people who want to kill us can't adjust to a failed attempt if they don't know what went wrong. Good.

We need to hinder their development. Spitballs won't do it.

I agree. He does have credibility. I am impressed by him - he responded to an email I sent on an earlier security flap.

Say what? Why not connect the reply from ther person you are replying too. Just as I have done in the above.? Hummmm?

The answer to to be systematic, deliberate and unconventional at the same time.

The ultimate success or failure of this quasi-state of warfare we're engaged in won't be known until the war is over. I think that IF al Qaeda succeeds in pulling off some kind of horrible WMD attack on American soil, then we should at least be willing to admit that our quasi-warfare strategy has failed and cannot protect America.

We are winning this war. Freedom and self-worth will soon be our new allies emerging within the Middle East that help our soldiers on the ground.


The Islamic terrorist scumbags are doing everything they can to keep that from happening, including murdering the people they claim to support. We ARE winning, but you wouldn't know it if you only listened to the maindream media. It's getting tougher now, but the body count is rising on their side many many times faster than ours. We have a military that is second to none, and they are DETERMINED. We will not fail!

the scumbags will begin choosing much softer targets.

How much softer can they get? Innocent civilians are kidnapped and murdered. Car bombs take out Iraqis, including women and children. These guys are just pussies with weapons and no morals. They dare not face the US military. What goons and cowards they are.

Ugh, Nexus-- I had the very same reaction. What the heck does "seen" mean?

You argue persuasively although somehat bombastically and patronizingly.

The answer to to be systematic, deliberate and unconventional at the same time.

Can you refer us to any good reports on this which makes the systematic, deliberate and, especially, unconventional tangible.

In other words, put the real life examples that illustrate your point out there specifically.

I was going to say Gertz is pushing more alarmist nonsense. But since I do not see anything about this on homelandsecurityus.com or debka.com then maybe this story is legit.

Inauguration Day

I actually thought that would be a good day for them- fixed day, fixed target. The State of the Union speech is another golden opportunity.

Why are you on FR again?

I notice your comments here have primarily been stating that most Muslims are peaceloving, kindly moderates who condemn terrorism. And a couple more supporting sexual diversity.

Why are you on FR again? Do you hold any conservative views?
