<tremendous progress achieved against terrorism> .......... I guess we're going to have to wait for a new statistical analytical program to gauge that one. Oh, right! I forgot! We're spending upwards to $100 billion a year and using 150,000 troops to distract the terrorists from our mainland and keep them congregated in Iraq. What are we going to do with them? Nuke them there in Iraq? These terrorists are getting organized there. Do you think they're going to stay there indefinitely? Where do you think they will end up eventually? If there's any progress against terrorism, it's clearly short term progress and very expensive. /john

tremendous progress achieved against terrorism Since you are making an accusation of me, I would venture to suggest to you that you stop this nonsense and look at the figures recently released by the State Department and acknowledged by Colin Powell himself. The number of terrorist attacks have inched higher this year than last year. Are you suggesting that I be stupid to conclude from such a statement of facts that there is progress against terrorism. Powell Says Terror Report Statistics Now Reviewed, Revised New figures note changes in significant, non-significant incidents Secretary of State Colin Powell said statistics in a 2003 report on global terrorism released in April were inaccurate and the Department of State and the Terrorist Threat Incident Center (TTIC) have revised them after a two-week review. Powell said the revised report shows that there were 208 international terrorist attacks in 2003, <font color=red>up slightly from the revised 205 in 2002. <font color=black>more....http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&y=2004&m=June&x=20040622173524dmslahrellek0.8425409&t=livefeeds/wf-latest.html

Terrorism is WORSE under Bush not better, despite one of the most enormous expenditures in US history. Worse of all, Bush has abused 9-11 and used phony scare tactics to try and subvert democracy, get us into the wrong war and portray himself as our brave defender when in fact he was AWOL on terrorism and even as the WTC burned, he just sat there doing nothing like Howdy Doody without his puppet master. He has also alienated many of our key allies we need to fight the true war on terror.
