I am not so sure. I think our taking Al Qaeda head on is strengthening their resolve. They take defeats on the battlefield tactically but I am wondering about the strategic picture. We have just been fortunate that they have not pulled another 9/11. It’s not a matter of if but a matter of when they strike again. Look at how vunerable our subways are. Millions of people travel them every single day. It’s a numbers game and the odds are in their favor.

It is a numbers game and one I refuse to accept because it really has nothing to do with the real threat, it’s about stripping President Bush of any legacy. It’s not luck that President Bush took the fight to the enemy overseas and we haven’t been attacked in 6 years on our home front. In 18 months when President Bush walks out of office and we haven’t been attacked then his policy on the battle will have been proved correct and any changes after that date will have been the reason for any attack which may happen on our home front. The Rats have rejected his policies so if they are elected they will have the opportunity to implement theirs and we’ll see which one was best.
