So the thesis is that by fighting the Saudi Arabian terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they aren't, we are avoiding fighting them in the U.S., where they are.

Count the bodies. None here. Is that attributable to the "there" strategy? No way to know. Could very well be.

We strengthened homeland security and created a distraction/put the focus in the ME via a couple of wars. There have been no attacks here. I'd bet Bush thinks the strategy works.

Couple of questions. 1) To what else might one attribute it? 2)Would you have preferred "bring it on" interpreted to mean "bring it here"?
