I'd really like to know what he is basing this absurd claim on that they couldn't get 30 guys. They got the number they needed and wanted. Why would anyone think they wanted more than they had? This kind of ignorance of the subject 8 years after 9/11 is shocking to me. I would think all Americans would have taken enough interest to get at least some basic facts on the subject by now.

>Not true. Starting with the first attempt to bring down the WTC, there have been numerous other attacks on Americans between that point and 9/11. Ah right, WTC 1993... you're right on that. But "numerous other attacks on Americans" don't count in the stats when they don't occur in America (I'm excluding embassy bombings). >None since then. Guess the "luck" ran out ... So there were two in 8 1/2 years here and none in the 7 1/2 since. It really doesn't tell us much. -Z
