WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush said that the foiled plot to blow up flights between Britain and the United States is evidence the US could be fighting terrorists for years to come.

“America is safer than it has been, yet it is not yet safe,” Bush told reporters Tuesday at the National Counter terrorism Center just outside Washington. “The enemy has got an advantage when it comes to attacking our homeland: They got to be right one time and we’ve got to be right 100 percent of the time to protect the American people.”

The counter terrorism center is located at an undisclosed site in Northern Virginia known as Liberty Crossing. It merges hundreds of government experts and more than two dozen computer networks from various federal agencies focusing on potential threats. snip

Democrats blamed Bush administration policies for making the country more vulnerable to outside threats.

“Five years after 9/11, Al Qaeda has morphed into a global franchise operation, terror attacks have increased sharply across the world and the president has shut down the program designed to catch Osama bin Laden,” Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said in a statement following Bush’s remarks.

1. So, let me get this right, the more we 'win' against terrorism...

...the longer we'll have to fight?

We foiled a plot, but that's going to prolong the war on terror?

I hope we don't foil any more plots, or the war will go on forever.

2. Oh, BOO! Junior! Like, you aren't even scary any more.

lol

3. And all these nuts are really getting into the act.

I am sure until the election we will also have them every place. It is not that they are not real but we got the 'want to be' coming out. Many silly kids who think it is something to do. Now they will be named as terrorists for life and it will then make more. It is like putting kids who shot street lights out at a wild party in prison for life. One thing we can say about Bush is that he has got this stuff working world wide.

4. So let's just suspend the elections and hope that God is on our side.

I just want to run away and hide.

Or come out and fight.

Good Dog A'mighty....

I am so conflicted.

8. How the hell is America SAFER?

What has Bush** done to make us safer? No, REALLY. What has he done? Can anyone name one thing he's done that seriously, honestly has made us even one iota safer?

Just repeating over and over again that we're safer doesn't make it true. Bush** isn't the effin' Wizard of Oz, not by a long shot. I'm tired of the BS and want an answer.

Come on, FREEPS! Create an account and TELL ME how Bush** has made us safer!! I want EVIDENCE.
