"It's not bad math. What that math shows is that they can fail a lot and still win. With us, it means we have to be 100% -- or we lose."

No. You aren't listening...or more likely, you are too self-frightened to know to listen.

It's bad math. Your fear won't change that. You think that we have to engage in genoicde; that's fear talking. You can deny that fear...won't help.

The math, however, says that Al Qaeda would be caught with a nuke long before they got one through.

That means that real fear doesn't come into play until after they've first been caught.

You won't understand that math. You won't accept. You'll deny it and post non-stop that reality isn't real...doesn't matter.

Al Qaeda would be caught long before they can get one through.

And that would change the entire game.

You said -- "Al Qaeda would be caught long before they can get one through."

Well..., so you say. I just don't happen to believe it -- that's all. I don't think a lot of other people believe it either.

The "math" we're talking about is not a literal equation here, of course. What we're talking about is that the U.S. has to be *perfect* -- 100% of the time. That can't be done.

And then, al-Qaida just has to succeed once, while failing miserably all of the other instances of various things it tries. In fact, the government released information to the effect that they had stopped somewhere around 22 or 23 major terrorist attacks (can't remember the number exactly, though). They were indicating that the government *had been stopping* terrorist attacks -- as opposed to them not happening at all. They just couldn't tell us much in the way of details.

And so, the government has been stopping them. You notice that we haven't been talking very much about all those that we've stopped. The government cannot talk very much about them. They don't get in the news. We just don't hear very much about them.

But, let's say that they stop another 22 and another 22 and another 22. We still won't hear a lot about them.

HOWEVER, the one that *happens* we will hear so much about that and so many people will be killed that it will go down in the history books.

*THAT* is the so-called "math" that I'm talking about. It *only* takes one. We've already stopped countless attacks -- but it only takes one to "make their day" (al-Qaida, that is...).

So, I really don't understand why you don't see the *lopsided* nature of that -- al-Qaida to what the U.S. has to do all the time. It's *inherent* in these types of attacks by terrorists. That's why they're so successful.

Name all of the ones that have failed (i.e., "government successes"). Most people would be hard pressed to name even one over the last decade. Name all the ones that have succeeded. Most people would be able to rattle off three or four without too much problem.

You still don't get it? I don't understand that -- for sure.

As far as the "fear factor" -- well, it doesn't bother me too much. I'll just get "promoted" -- as one Christian put it. It's a promotion to be with Jesus Christ. So, that's not too worrisome to me.

But, I would hate to see all that problems that come with that kind of terrorist attack. And unless people get on board and do something about the evil and false religion of Islam -- this country is going to suffer from these terrorist attacks. Worse is coming and no one seems to want to do anything about the *source* of the problem. That's what I'm concerned about.

I'll keep saying it until it's my time to go. So, this won't be the end of me here on this board -- for a long while, hopefully.

"That means that real fear doesn't come into play until after they've first been caught."

Yep, your right on accept that it likely will never be reported anywhere in the media to cause the real fear effect of our population.

"Al Qaeda would be caught long before they can get one through."

Likely they would be caught with one and two more would get through to be used later when we have let our guard down again.
