How often do we get hit?

The new mantra of the left.


It's an old mantra of mine (remember "pimple on our ass").

I'm a lot more scared of $15 a gallon gasoline than a huge terrorist attack. And the former is a lot more likely.

No, it is an old mantra. There is nothing new about terrorism. Ask the Europeans.

No, dude, I've been thinking that way for years. Al-Qaida's original plan was to have 30+ hijackers on the planes on 9/11. All they could get was 19. That's the best they could do after 5 years of planning. There just aren't that many of them in U.S..

Granted, they got off a good shot, but there are a lot of other horrible things that could happen that are more likely than Al-Qaida getting off a better attack than they did seven years ago.
