“Patriot Act helped foil New York terror plot”
Quote:
The arrest and indictment of Najibullah Zazi on charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction was made possible by the “roving wiretaps” allowed by the Patriot Act, which was signed into law in 2001 by President George W. Bush. “All the layers of defense President Bush set up after Sept. 11 are working,” Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., pointed out. The Patriot Act caused plenty of controversy, but it was key to the Bush administration’s successful eight-year counterterrorism strategy that focused on disrupting terror attacks and thereby preventing the deaths of more Americans here at home.
1? That’s it?
The passengers of the last plane to go down on 9/11 did far more to stop terrorism than any acts since. The used true Homeland Security tactics. How many terrorist serving in GITMO have faced a military tribunal much less death? He created a mess. His nation building or No Contractors Left Behind Project in Iraq made it possible for Iran to do as they willed.
Do you think Iran would be a threat today had Bush made Iraq a military mission instead of a nation building one? It was obvious after the second night of bombing we had been had. Meaning infrastructure was left in place. I think our troops will be spilling more blood there within a generation because of our nation building. This time they will face a much more advanced military. Bush ignored several thousand years of M.E./Islamic Culture. That was a huge blunder and arrogance on the part of his so called brilliant advisors.
One Charismatic Cleric steps up to power which is a probability and Iraq is going to be a far greater military threat then Saddam ever wished to be. This will have been done with our tax dollars. Had he ordered the Pentagon to level the place {as is the real purpose for going to war} and left it smoldering we'd be in far better shape than where we are today.
