This article also gives lie to the claim you often hear (mostly from Republicans) that there have been no terrorists attacks since 9/11. Just how many innocent people does a jihadist nutball have to kill for it to be considered a terrorist attack?

This is what is wrong with having a "war on terror" as opposed to a war against islamic crazies. Its hard to fight an enemy your own side won't even name!

So true. Good post.

I hear this crap all the time from dimocrats, but have never heard such a thing from a Republican. I've heard Republicans say that there have been no MAJOR attacks (destroying a building or taking down an airliner), but we are all aware of these free-lance terrorists.

There is a distinct and important difference between some crazy Islamist (sorry for the redundancy) and an organized attack.

GWB can rightly and proudly claim that he has kept us safe from (organized) terrorist attack. No one will ever be able to keep us safe from the nuts.

Everything I needed to know about Islam I learned on 9-11.
