Bush vs. Terror: Something's Working »

Posted By bobo-in-texas 1 year, 5 months ago in News

Based on the historical record, the Bush administration obviously has done something since 2001 to dramatically improve our security against terrorism. To fail to recognize this is to sow the seeds of greatly increased susceptibility to terrorist attacks in the next administration.

    Everyday I am so glad that neither Algore nor John Kerry-Heinz were elected.

    Good warning.

    Very true.

    Someone is over looking the 4,000 dead American soldiers who've been killed fighting Bushs' war, are they not csualities of terrorism? Gearge Bush's terrorism? While i'll conceed that there have'nt been any new attacks on US soil, we are a very long way away from being safe, under this administration or the next.

    It's hard to argue with results. I am honored and proud of America's Armed Forces. They have shown the world that America is still the best in the world. While there have been casualties and injuries, they were unfortunately necessary to preserve the safety of all Americans at home and abroad. For this, I am thankful to be in America. I sleep better at night, still watchful, but I sleep better.

    God Bless America.

    If a liberal become president then we are in real trouble. Attacks on American soil will increase I'm sure. Bush's general strategy is working. Whether the dumbocrats admit it or not or even whether they like it means nothing.

    Funny thing but Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Lebanon seemed to be mentioned more than once while Iraq only gets one mention. Are S.A. and Pakistan really our allies in this war on terror or are they just playing us for fools. Maybe we should be concentrating our anti-terrorists efforts where the terrorists are.

    We have thwarted more Terrorist attacks from cooperative police work than the war in Iraq. Terrorism is something you have to be vigilant against and stirring up violence n the world is not going to convince suicide bent terrorists to give up from far of war with the big bad USA.

      The terrorists are not rich and powerful, like us. They try to get as much mileage as they can from a few dramatic acts of terror (that's what terrorism is). The reason there has not been "another 911" is we are doing a good job, all by ourselves, of extending the "mileage" from the first one. Which of them ever imagined they would be elevated to the number-one feared enemy of the world's greatest military power? How can a handful of terrorists do so much damage to us, at so little cost to themselves? I guess thay know how to draw us in, eh? By creating a trillion dollar war against them, we have inflated their importance and amplified their effect. Iraq has become the jihadist battleground Afghanistan was during the Soviet occupation. It is the children of those we assembled to fight the Soviets who are fighting us, now. Iraq is AlQaeda's live terrorist training lab and world jihadi recruitment center. There's no way we can leave, now.

        So, uh, now the insurgents in Iraq AREN'T terrorists? I don't see the daily attacks in Iraq in this tally. DAILY.

        Making this article's conclusions COMPLETE BS.

        Throw those in and terrorist attacks on US interests abroad have escalated IMMENSELY.

        Good find BoBo. Hopefully the next admin will continue the present policies for combating terrorism.

        There is a saying "Nothing breeds success like success".

        As Grr points out above, if you include attacks in Iraq, then this article is way off.

        Exclude Iraq, and I conced the numbers have gone down. I just wonder if this hasn't more to do with the fact that every western nation in the world has dramatically increased their security, particularly at international airports, harbors and common borders. Has Bush had anything to do with that? We could probably debate that aswell.

        Do we feel safer? Ask all the families that are having to choose between food and fuel to go to work, ask all those needing medical attention, but can't afford it, and so on. Should this kind of "safe" be included in the statement that "Something is Working"? I believe so, because its in direct proportion to what decisions are being made in Washington. Something is working allright, but in my view, not for the better.

        Also, if the Dems don't have enough majority to override a presidential veto, effectively they are N O T in majority.

        If there's any question as to how successful this administration's policies have been, I'd just like to remind us that not only did the most devastating terrorist attack in American history happen on Bush's watch, but that the number of worldwide terrorist attacks each year has grown exponentially since he took office.

          Tell the over 4,000 service men and women who have been killed by terrorists that Bush made them more secure.

            It is more than OBVIOUS that the Bush strategy on terrorism: "the best defense is a GOOD OFFENSE", has WORKED VERY WELL, even better than I thought and would have expected. The strategy is clearly laid out in Doug Feith's new book, WAR AND DECISION, and it is clear that Bush's desire to wage a worldwide offensive against Islamofascist terrorism, with a strategy devised by Donald Rumsfeld and his advisors, has paid off in spades, no pun intended!

            Of course the left will deny this; they denied that Hitler was a threat, too, when their Uncle Joe told them to embrace Fascism. The left had no credibility to begin with, so their carping, whining, and hysterics are nothing more than par for the course.

            The louder they scream and holler, the more you know that America is winning. That's the bottom line.
