If there's one thing the White House can't stand, it's a snotty reporter who doesn't recognize success when they see it:

Q: The administration has been boasting about the success of the President's war on terror, yet data compiled by the RAND Corporation show that the global rate of terrorism, as measured by the number of people killed per year, increased by almost fivefold during the Bush presidency. And according to the government's own terrorism statistics, 2007 was the worst year ever, with over 22,000 people killed worldwide. Does the President consider that record a success?

MR. STANZEL: The President considers it very much a success that we have kept this nation safe since the devastating attacks of 9/11.

So I'll move on. Yes, go ahead --

Q: But shouldn't the anti-terrorism efforts reduce terrorism rather than increase it?
