There was no Patriot Act from 1993-2001 and we didn't get hit then, either (OKC being a debatable exception).

We don't have enough information to know if we haven't gotten hit because of the Patriot Act, etc. or because it's AQ's m.o. to wait years between attacks if it suits them.

And based on the President's performance in today's presser, I'm not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The terrorist haven't been able to successfully hit us again, but they have tried.
