how much training does it take to walk into a ...

It takes more skill than that, honey, to blow up bridges (as a PREVIOUS poster was pointing to) and harm infrastructure than some mindless twit's pulling-the-pin on his simple little homemade anti-personnel bomb.

(The simple wounding/maiming of a group of civilians in close-quarters is really bush-league ...)

C'mon guys - can't you offer up any more argument than this?

Ladies and gentleman - THESE arguments you offer up are weak - WEAK!

And NO ONE dares take up my previous assertions about the TIMING of terrorist attacks that SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED UP THE 9/11 event (should thousands of so-called 'terrorists' have poured through out porous borders)!

(HOW MANY TERRORIST EVENTS HAVE WE HAD IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE 9/11 ... ZERO ...)

"HOW MANY TERRORIST EVENTS HAVE WE HAD IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE 9/11 ... ZERO..."

Post 9/11 we've had a number of Anthrax attacks.

We've had one kid planting pipe bombs in mailboxes as he drove around the heartland in a smiley-face pattern.

We've had two suspicious jet crashes.

We've had two snipers in the D.C. area.

We've had a tiny blip increase in the number and frequency of train derailments.

We've had a series of cruise ships hit with a bio-agent.

We've had at least two suicide pilots fly small aircraft into bank buildings in Florida (Orlando and Tampa, if I remember correctly).

They've hit a French oil tanker with a suicide raft.

They've fired a couple of missiles at an Israeli passenger aircraft (and suicide-bombed a hotel in Africa).

They've killed scores of Australians in a nightclub bombing in Bali.

We've stopped one suicide bomber from blowing up one of our jets (AKA Richard Reid) with C4 shaped into the sole of his shoe (i.e. the shoe-bomber).

We've caught one bomber trying to set off a radioactive conventional bomb (AKA the "dirty bomber").

It's not that they haven't tried more attacks, it's just that they really don't have the capacity to inflict much widespread harm (fear, sure, but real damage, no).

What the hell is scalding your butt, Bozo? I referred to you by your screen name. Why do you feel the need to respond with insulting condescension?

Was it because you didn't have a good response to my question, clown?
