List of Terror Attacks Prevented?

Posted on 12/24/2005 2:18:13 PM PST by GermanBusiness

Hi. I am alone on Christmas Eve and I got into a debate with some leftists about the war. What a way to spend Christmas Eve. :-(

And I am still debating them. They say "Name One Terrorist Caught by Bush" since the war began? I thought that was an easy to answer question. But where are the Google replies for that? There are none. Is there a FAQ somewhere?

This sounds like a really stupid question, but I am drawing a blank right now.

Also, is there a list of known or probable specific terror attacks prevented by the GWOT?

I am thinking that someone we caught was going to blow up the Golden Gate Bridge. But who? I need a list.

I am sorry, but I just cannot look this up on Google. I tried, but Google is no help.

I would presume such info is classified.

They might be keeping score, but the tally is top secret and won't be made public except by the NYT because it would provide an advantage to the enemy.

There have been several nailed in Pakistan and of course, Saddam and his minions. Look on the FBI most wanted list and also, wasn't there a deck of cards with most wanted.... of course, Saddam's evil sons. Of course, your evil lib friends won't admit that Saddam and company are terrorists.

And I'm sorry you're alone. Have a blessed Christmas.

Saddam is a terrorist. He killed thousands of his own people.. using weapons of mass destruction no less.
The left doesn't like to admit that~

Good luck arguing with liberals, when you make your point they just swear and call you names.
When you argue with hatred, you're dealing directly with Satan.
Tell them Christ died for their sins and they'll explode in anger.

There is defineily some declassified information on this released earlier this fall- it was USA Today front page news around september or october. I remember the Lackawanna, oregon, and california terror cells broken up with help of the Patriot Act. Some international busts also, especially the Sydney Opera House thing.

You might be able to find info about the a prevented Brooklyn bridge terror attack.

Also, try looking for a planned Sept. 11 attack on the library tower in Los Angeles that was prevented by the nation's strong reaction to the World Trade Center attacks.

Good Luck!

You might also point out that we stopped Dashle, Kerry and that Air America is on life support funded by George Sorros.

Abu Zubaydah (captured)
Mohammed Atef (killed)
Ramzi al-Bin shibh (captured)
Khadli Sheikh Mohammad (captured)

Now, if you're really serious about this, and I have my doubts, type "Al Qaeda scorecard" into your browser.

The number of terrorists the U.S. and its allies have killed and captured in this war on terror is mind boggling.

Oh, and one attack that we've prevented? The Brooklyn Bridge bombing plot - stopped by monitoring phone calls between Al Qaeda and a terrorist on U.S. soil. And maybe if SV is in the Christmas spirit, he'll show you his terrorist scorecard.

"But it appears to be deemed problematical only for President Bush, whose wiretaps are said to have caught Iyman Faris, a naturalized U.S. citizen who wanted to bomb the Brooklyn Bridge. "

From a great article also mentioning Carter's and Clinton's wire taps and quotes Clinton's AG.

Wiretaps for me, not thee?

PS.

If I may, I would suggest you don't waste your Christmas Eve
arguing with leftists. Put on some nice Christmas music, or watch some Christmas show on TV, count your blessings, say a prayer. You can be alone, but you don't have to be lonely.

And have a very Merry Christmas!

How about all the ragheads in the Prisons we have set up in Gitmo and around the world, you know those SECRET ones?

We have Al Zarqawis number 2 man, Abu Azzam, the second most wanted al Qaeda leader in Iraq who was killed in Sept.
Don't your friends listen to anything but the lib networks? Almost weekly there are Al Qaeda people arrested or killed. Your friends must be getting nervous because the elections all went so well with each having a larger turnout then the last.

Want to drive them crazy? Just keep hammering them with the polls they live and die by. The most accurate pollster, Rasmussen has Bush at 50% among national adults and 53-55% among registered/likely voters. Also from Rasmussen 50% Say U.S. Winning War on Terror 25% Say Terrorists Winning:
