I did. And I provided irrefutable evidence you were blatantly lying about it too.......

Message 19071045;

The post above provides a link to an article that says overall terrorism was down in 2002. However, another link that you posted this weekend provides clear cut evidence that terrorist attacks against Americans and/or their property is up during Bush's first 2 1/2 years in office. You do remember posting that link?

What I think is confusing you is that originally I had limited the attacks to US embassies. However, you very promptly and very correctly pointed out to me that the rocket attack in Liberia actually hit the compound NEXT to the American embassy, and not the embassy itself.

Subsequently, I also have found out that my claim of attacks against the US embassies in Pakistan and Afghanistan was also off in similar ways. The attack in Pakistan was against embassy staff while they were at church. And in Afghanistan, similar to Liberia, the rocket hit across the street from the embassy, and not the embassy itself.

Neither of my correction changes my original premise which is that terrorism against Americans and their property is on the increase since Bush took over the presidency. Once again, here is the link YOU provided that supports my position. Count the incidents for yourself; you will clearly see the increase for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003 :

I hope this dispels any lingering confusion you may have re. this subject. If not, you will have to work it out on your own......I will no longer post with you on this subject.
