We weren't looking out very hard before 9/11.

The wall won't stop everything, but it will significantly lower the hit rate, which is already under 20%.

It certainly seems to help keep em in Gaza. Most of the attacks come from the West Bank. Wall them out, too.

Clark raises $750,000 in 3 days after announcing
By Associated Press, 9/22/2003

WASHINGTON -- Retired General Wesley K. Clark raised $750,000 in the first three days of his Democratic presidential campaign, campaign officials said yesterday.

Advisers said the money does not include the $1.9 million that supporters pledged before he entered the race Wednesday. The campaign intends to notify those supporters, members of various draft-Clark organizations, and ask them to back up their pledges with cash.

Clark became the 10th Democratic presidential candidate but immediately made a mark for himself in a major poll.

The Newsweek edition on newsstands today reports that Clark, former supreme commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization who retired from the Army in 2000, had 14 percent backing in a poll taken just days after he entered the race.

Former Vermont governor Howard Dean and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut had 12 percent each, and Senator John F. Kerry had 10 percent.

Head-to-head against President Bush, the poll showed Bush would get 47 percent backing, Clark 43 percent.

The poll of 1,001 adults, taken Thursday and Friday, had an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points, 4 percentage points for registered voters.
