I know the repukes say that we
haven't had a terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 but isn't an embassy considered American soil? It seems to be considered so when they try to point the finger of failure at Clinton. Also isn't this (Yemen) at least the second embassy attack since 9/11?

1. Wasn't the US military grade ANTHRAX after 9/11/01?

3. I always count the anthrax attacks as
a terrorist attack but noticed they don't. When people are afraid to open their mail for fear of dieing it is terror whether a powder or bomb. Hell seems the freeptards still know it causes terror since they delight in sending powder laced mail to those they hate.

2. Repukes seem to think attacks are like busses
If you miss one, another will be along in a minute.

Fact: First attack on World Trade Center, 1993
Fact: Next attack on World Trade Center, 9/11/01

When is the next attack due by this calculus? 2009 Big whoop that we haven't been attacked again. Plus, you can make an argument that invading Afghanistan put OBL back for a bit.

Besides, don't our biggest allies count as "us"? I would think London and Madrid would count as "us."

4. I noticed the "American Soil"
qualifier they tend to use. Then embassies would count since they are considered American soil. Personally I would count a lot more things as terrorist attacks like attacks on military bases. They would not like my way of counting.

5. AIG and the rest sure seems like domestic terrorism - if we use the Patriot
Act definition.

6. No need to attack Amerika again. The destruction is within.
The Busholini Regime & their Multi-Corps are destroying Amerika.
