no major terrorist attacks since 9/11, Bush's fault. he's doing something right.

We've been lucky. But keeping the door open to people who mean our country harm is completely inexcusable.

"no major terrorist attacks since 9/11, Bush's fault. he's doing something right."

I agree.

"No major terrorist attacks since...."

I might suggest that you don't hang your hat on any supporting rationale relative to the above statement for the following reason:

It is commonly acknowledged that the Islamic enemy could strike our Nation again -- essentially on His terms.

The reason that has not happened is twofold:

1. The enemy has calculated that another significant "internal" attack would tend to re-focus the populace toward a re-defined common threat -- clearly and definitively...much like 9/11 did (for a very short period).

Why take a counterproductive action when the subversion of our culture and the wherewithal to counter the threat, is so effectively being dissipated and factionalized from within ie. 4th Estate, academia, leftist politicians, etc.

2. The Islamic calendar for protracted conflict and conquest of the Western Democracies relies to a significant degree upon demographics and the resultant internal (Western) cultural transition. Direct attacks of a disproportionate magnitude would be counterproductive, were the reaction to derogate the longterm Islamist objectives.

Accordingly, in my view, the Islamic leadership has been reluctant to overplay its well-validated capabilities.

In my view, the United States (and Western Democracy) is engaged in the preliminary aspects of a mortal civilizational conflict that will last for decades. The ultimate costs to our nation in terms of resources and manpower have not been addressed in a serious vein at ANY level. Shameful in the extreme.

Thank you, Fellow Freepers.

>>>no major terrorist attacks since 9/11, Bush's fault.<<<

There were also no major terrorist attacks by foreigners from 1993 to 2001. I guess that was Clinton's fault.

>>he's doing something right.<<<

But not in regards to securing our borders.

But enforcing the border protection would not hurt the WOT, don't you think so?

[wardaddy]

He's right on WOT but gravely wrong on immigration.

But 9/11 did happen and it happened on his watch and 3000 Americans citizens died.

The very reason it happened is because of just such crap as this, lack of border security by him and his predecessors.

We allowed and still do allow people to enter our country almost at will, both legally and illegally from terrorist nations and from nations that sponsor terrorists.

All this so big business can have cheap labor and to not offend or endanger their money making business deals and investments with foreign governments who hate us and live for the day they can cheer when we fall or they can destroy us.

Bush is a globalist and believes the countries of the world ought to be run by laws to meet the needs and help increase the profit margins of the Corporate World.

Constitutions,laws, borders individual needs, rights and freedoms will be allowed as long as they don't interfere with some rich person or corporation making a buck.

Bush and his corporate globalist friends want cheap labor and our borders to go away where we will be one big happy bunch of free traders and be The United States of America in name only.

They want the U.S., Canada, Mexico and little later South America to be the western version of the EU and they are going to get what they want regardless of which party is in power or the White House and no matter what the people of the U.S. do or say.

The Globalist agenda is so far advanced they no longer even try to hide it. The reason he seems to be doing things so far out of character is because this is what happens when the Corporate Globalists call the shots and control your government.

We are going to see more and more of this where no matter what per centage of the people may want or not want something it won't matter, and it will not matter which party is in the majority or White House.

What the Corporate World wants it gets and all the people will get are the crumbs from their table.

Welcome to the New World Order.

This has been a very persuasive argument in recent years. However, the more I hear Bush and Jerkoff...er Chertoff...and the mindless illogical rationale that they spew out for public consumption, the greater my suspicion that we are being "set up" for a very big...maybe even pivotal terrorist attack.

There is no other way to explain the Bush/Chertoff ABSOLUTE indifferance to our porous borders.

In fact, if they were actively promoting terrorist entry into the country, what would they do that they have not already done over the past 5 years?
