I remember years ago, maybe 1993 or 94 I was listening to a radio show called "Duffy and Company". It was here that I heard the name of bin Laden for the first time. Duffy warned back then that the U.S. was in danger of serious terror attacks using WMDs from this creep. So if a radio guy knew about the danger back then I think the gov should have been on top of this stuff a long time ago. The only thing I can figure is gov incompetence, an enemy far smarter than we are, not wanting to offend the Arab and Muslim world, bureaucratic laziness, and an apthetic public wanting "peace and safety", who knows. All I know is we better start playing catch up ball real quick or we could see a major population center vaporized some time in the not-too-distant future.

All of the above. We've become so PC in this country that I don't see how we'll possibly win the war on terror. The jihadists won't defeat us. We'll defeat ourselves. We look like fools, imo, for some of the terrorist bill of rights stuff we've passed.

For crying out loud, not one thing that happened at Abu Graib was torture. Pretending dogs were going to bite but not letting them bite? Fake electrodes? Blankets over heads? Listening to obnoxious music? Sheesh. The jihadists must be laughing themselves sick.

On 9/11, within a few seconds, freepers said it was OBL. I was watching the news, channel surfing for information frantically because I have a stepbrother who worked in a building next to one of the towers, and not one of the anchors had a clue for a good 15-20 minutes. So all of what you said is correct, imo.
