I am sick of people saying we have not been attacked since 911
It's wrong, we were attacked with biological weapons after september 11th.

From Wikopedia:

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001 (after the September 11, 2001 attacks). Letters containing anthrax bacteria were mailed to several news media offices and two US Senators, killing five people. The crime remains unsolved.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks

The anthrax attacks have never been connected to the 911 hijackers, they were a separate event, so you right-wingers shut the fuck up, you are wrong!!! We have been attacked since 911!

Why have these attacks been erased from the public's memory. WTF!!

1. Shhhhh.... You're not supposed to remember those.

Down, down, down the memory hole! If you keep it up, people might start asking why the FBI investigation mysteriously hit a dead end, and ALL news coverage abruptly ceased, the minute it became clear that the Anthrax was from the US Army.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

3. Yes, I know, but why was the unsolved crime not used
by the democrats as a political weapon against the 'daddy' party????
That's the real mystery, seems like a winner to me.

8. That, my friend, is an excellent question.
And I sure don't know the answer.

2. We were attacked on 9/11
Who should have paid attention to all the clues? They can whine all they want
about it being Clinton's fault. Bush had 235 days in office. He dismissed all
the warnings, and there were plenty. He was in office when it happened.

It's as simple as that.

And just the first of his many failures as president.

20. First US. attack was 11/23/93 -They came back 9-11 and got it right
Mann, do feeble-minded people forget! -- Since 8 years had passed before the WTC was attacked again how can anyone with a smidgeon of common sense believe that because 4 years and 4 months pass without our being attacked that Homeland security, Bush and whoever is responsible for our not being attacked since 9-11 some major accomplishment?? pleeze, enlighten me??

Until at least 8 years have passed the US. people have nothing to be proud of. UBL and the boys have 3 more years before the same timespan passes -- until then, the notion of we haven't been attacked since 9-11 really is an entertaining thought.

4. Thanks...
We, liberal western civilization, HAVE been attacked!!! Spain, England, vacation resorts in the Far East. Appeasement is BS. Radical Islamic ideologues give no quarter, show no mercy. Well, mostly... that female journalist now held captive may yet emerge alive.

17. However, those attacks were in retaliation
to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. They didn't just come out of the blue.

If it was just because they hated "liberal western civilization" they would've attacked Sweden.

6. Democrats, the MSM and Tabloid Publishers were attacked.
The anthrax was a warning to shut up or be shut down. Part of the terra, terra, terra campaign.

Other Duers may provide more info.

9. There haven't been any locust invasions, either
Or rivers turning blood red. Or even raining frogs

Thank Heavens for Dear Leader.

10. The terrorist in the White House (who did the anthrax, of course) has
attacked us daily. We have lost many of those rights 'they' hated us for.

The PNAC crew did 9-11. The Muslim stuff was made up by them....why do you think there was never a criminal investigation?

11. The terrorist/s was/were probably not arabic enough
Edited on Tue Jan-24-06 08:55 AM by Stockholm
This is actually my biggest fear at the moment. Home grown terrorists; then all the home land security in the world won´t help and a carte blanche for further shredding of the constitution/grundgesetz/grundlag.

London being the most recent example (in the west).

13. Apparently his term started 9/12/01.
I can think of no other reason why people would dismiss the fact that he failed this country miserably by ignoring the glaring signs of an impending attack that occurred 9/11/01.

15. Great Point
Although I too am amazed that the media does not point out that we have been attacked after 9/11 I think people such as myself just forget about those attacks. The media on the other hand may be afarid that if they point that out they may not get access to the President.

16. Besides, just because we've gone 4.5 years w/o a major incident doesn't
Edited on Tue Jan-24-06 01:11 PM by AZBlue
mean a thing! The terrorists look at this as a fight that's gone on for literally thousands of years. Four and a half years is nothing to them - that's like a day to us. Any politician who claims victory because we haven't had another 9/11-scale event is simply showing their ignorance and misunderstanding of the enemy.

19. To argue that we haven't been attacked since 9-11
is just a self-serving delusion that repukes use to feel better about the thousands they have killed in their illegal war.

How many times has the U.S. been hit by foreign terrorists? I am not talking about domestic, Una-bomber, Timothy McVay attacks either. I am talking about the foreign born, Islamic radicals that come to the U.S. to do harm? What happened on 9-11 is a once in a lifetime even that can be labeled as a historical turning point.

Using that argument is akin to saying "We haven't been bombed by the Japanese since Pearl Harbor."

21. Once was quite more than enough. Why did they sit back and let it happen ?
This administration had heard all the threats, they were quite aware of the scenario, despite Rice's lie that they "had no idea". Shameful, incompetent, and traitorous.... That's what these idiots need to hear.

How many times does this country need to be directly attacked before these sheep understand that Bushco is responsible and totally irresponsible?

23. July 2002 shootings in LAX airport
An Egyptian man fired at an Israeli passenger line in LAX in July 2002. This is the first time I remember this happening in the US (someone opening fire on an El-Al passenger line), but it has happened before several times, usually in Europe.
