What a great, concise, to-the-point post.

I have a feeling that's the end of the argument.

There were no successful attacks inside the United States or against American interests abroad.


Except in Iraq and Afghanistan where over 4k Americans have died and many thousands have been injured. In those two places we have spent nearly a trillion dollars.

Sigh.

We have been over this before.

Most of those have no discernible link with al Qaeda except there might have been Arabs involved.

And for the 2004-2008 data, it is just wrong. You shouldn't get your news from blogs. There have been successful terrorist attacks against American interests abroad.

Of course, you might not consider bombing US embassies and killing US diplomats to be "against American interests abroad"...
