“You have one metric, and that is preventing all attacks. . . . If there’s one attack, you are unsuccessful,” he said.

Yeah, but on the lighter brighter side the sh*ts were able to use 911 as an excuse to invade our privacy and go after political enemies of democrats...

The FBI's too PC to go after radical muslim terrorists - they want the pure gold stuff - some white middle class guy who goes to church and has a family... yeah, get that guy....someone who disagrees with liberal democrats...

Hundreds slaughtered in Chicago every year - and the fed yawns... gotta get that damn conservative white lone wolf ... a unicorn of the demented police state mind.
