11th thwarted attack on New York City since 911
Take note GOP:

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the Times Square plot was the 11th thwarted attack on New York City since hijacked airliners destroyed the World Trade Center's twin towers on September 11, 2001, killing more than 2,600 people.

2. meanwhile since 9/11 3,600.00 Americans have died from tobacco related illnesses
using an estimate of 400K per year which is similar to what the cancer society crowds estimate.

tobacco use is the real terrorist but there is NO war on that because the military cannot make enuff money from it.
