Oh, well, I guess according to Professor Mueller, we can all just relax and stop worrying about AQ. I'm sure relieved...

"the evidence so far suggests that fears of the omnipotent terrorist …snip… may have been overblown, the threat presented within the United States by al Qaeda greatly exaggerated."

So what about the recent terror plot that was foiled? OK, that was from Britain but it involved planes flying to the US. I'm there were plenty of operatives in the US involved.

Given the opportunity and means, they would kill every last one of us.

How can that possibly be "overblown?"

[SamAdams76]

Thanks to President Bush taking the war "over there", the terrorists have been too busy just trying to survive to launch an attack over here. Of course, nobody ever gets credit for what they prevented, they only get the blame for what happens.

Had FDR taken out Adolph Hitler in 1936, he'd be remembered as a villain today and Hitler would be remembered as a martyr.

This Mueller guy is a noodle head. Yup, Islam just gave up and called it a day.

Is There Still a Terrorist Threat?

No, not according to the DNC Playbook.

[Strategerist]

Not that a single person other than me reading this thread is likely to do so, but I'd recommend people at least read the entire article before engaging the flamethrower or the barf-o-matic.

[toddlintown]

Well hell then. Let's bring back box cutters on planes and invite the public in to help the crew fly the plane. /s

He may be correct (unlikely), but the fact is that the stakes are so huge that even a small 20% probablility would be too much.

Given how one nut and his "helper" shut down D.C.'s Maryland and Virginia Suburbs with one rifle, guess what a bunch of suicide types could do in shopping malls, downtown streets, just with pistols or hunting rifles with scopes. (Remember the U. of Texas Tower?)

What could they do with simple industrial explosives, or even easy to obtain chemicals...like chlorine...or..........?

Doesn't have to be a fleet of 757s or nuclear weapons.

[RasterMaster]

Al Queda attacks on the U.S. are highly exaggerated.....they only happen every few years.

However, DUmocrats (terrorist enablers and appeasers) attack the country on a daily basis and are a higher threat to the nation.

We need the picture of the guy with his head up his ass like Prof. Mueller/

Poor Bush. He's been too successful. The looney libs are like children. If they can't see it, it doesn't exist. Why wash one's hands before surgery? Bacteria can't be seen, so it must not exist, right? And what you see in a microscope is a hoax, just like the planes hitting the twin towers.

With reasoning ability like this, I am somewhat surprised this man can complete a bowel movement unassisted.

This is beyond pathetic. And even more disgusting is what this clown would be saying if we got hit. That'd Bush's fault, also.

With a liberal, it's: heads I win, tails you lose. Lot of blood on these appeaser's hands. And more coming.

[joonbug]

No. Because according to the mouthpieces in the MSM, the only terrorists are Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rummy, and they only have a bit over 2 more years in power.

[ladyinred]

Oh good, I feel much better now. Those guys who were plotting and about to blow up 10 of our planes over the Atlantic were just joshing us. Maybe we are safe cause the democrats think they will win in November. They like the terrorists afterall, and those in the towers who died were all republicans I am sure.

[Personal Responsibility]

So according to this genius the last 19 terrorists living on american soil died on 9/11/2001? They were all that was left? Man, what is he smoking?

[WhiteGuy]

Is There Still a Terrorist Threat?

yeah, until Nov. 8th?

[hardworking]

Let's see, 14 badly injured or killed in San Francisco this week. Nope, no terrorist threat there! Relax. Have another beer. It's all a hoax.
