First of all, I am a patriot and appreciate those that protect us...CIA, FBI, NSA, ATF, etc...
And I clearly understand that their hard work has helped to make us all safe...safe from the 'big ones' that is.
Yes, protecting us from those major bigtime threats...that's what they do...I UNDERSTAND this!
But what I don't understand is...please bare with me and follow the logic and think about it yourself for a day or so, talk about this with a good friend and reply if you like.
IT SEEMS COMPLETELY IL-LOGICAL TO ME THAT NOT ONE BAD GUY, NOT ONE!!!...HAS FOUND SOME DYNAMITE OR SOME OTHER EXPLOSIVE AND WENT TO A BASEBALL GAME ENTRANCE OR A TRAIN STATION AND BLOWN HIMSELF UP!
Think about it, not one???? If there are a few million that hate us (or more) why has not one come across the southern border, worked for a transportation company or something, stole a few sticks (and please don't say that stuff is guarded so well to the point of no one stealing 'one piece')
How can this be explained?
If there is one thing that President Bush can be praised for, it is his handling of the War on Terror. We destroyed much of Al-Queda's organizaton and drove alot of them into hiding. When they pulled off 9/11 they were thinking of a Bill Clinton response and ended up getting Shock and Awe! God help us if they do manage to pull off something similar during Mr. Obama's reign.

I get what you're suggesting here and I think you are completely right. But, can't the new flu be seen as a new terror attack? Without a sponsor?
Some say it was constructed in a lab or resurrected from the past.

Haven't more Americans died over in Iraq due to friendly fire than those who died on September 11th all thanks to GWB's War on not so terrifying terror?

This is a very curious question. I would think that we haven't all that much to worry about. I think our military does a great job and the security forces are watching closely enough for out of place things. I never really thought we were in danger Before 9/11 or after I doubt Bush had anything to do with our country being protected.

More than 3,000 Soldiers died from friendly fire in Iraq???. I doubt it was even 1/10 of that. Where did you get your numbers? (Anxiously waiting for a link from a George Soros funded website)
(CNN) -- Al Qaeda's second-in-command has accused President Obama of supporting a Palestinian state that would do the bidding of Israel.
Ayman al-Zawahiri says on a recent tape, "Israel is a crime that needs to be wiped out."
"Obama wants a Palestinian state that works as a branch for the Israeli government," Ayman al-Zawahiri said in a nearly 90-minute video called, "The Realities of Jihad and the Fallacies of Hypocrisy."
The latest in a series of such videos was posted Monday on radical Islamist Web sites by al Qaeda's production company, As-Sahab Media.
"Israel is a crime that needs to be wiped out," said al-Zawahiri, who likened Obama's policies to those of President Bush.
"The promises of the two states and ending the settlements were made by Bush, so what's new? This is the continuation of the same Zionist crusader crime against Muslims since the end of World War II," he said.
"Obama can come with all the eloquent words he has, but it is nothing but illusions."
Al-Zawahiri referred to a conditional truce offer he said had been made by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
