Think again.

“Only three of the 763 “sneak-and-peek” requests in fiscal year 2008 involved terrorism cases, according to a July 2009 report from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Sixty-five percent were drug cases.”

Jay, do you EVER get tired of being wrong? Ever?

Still, even twenty percent peroxide is eighty percent water. Not sure what you could do with that.

Right. That’s why the GOP spent the 1990s screaming for an invasion of Afghanistan and Sudan. That’s why there was no talk of “wagging the dog” from Republicans after Clinton’s response to the Embassy bombings. That’s why Bush Jr campaigned in 2000 on a promise to embroil the US in a Mideast war to end the threat of Islamic terrorism. That’s why you, yourself, Jay, can show us example after example of Republicans calling for military action to quell it.

Oh, wait….

Sounds like this was all about conventional law enforcement. As asked above, please show me that is wasn’t.

“You can idiotically blame President Bush all you want”

Nothing idiotic about blaming the Commander in Chief, whose primary duty is to protect us. I place more of the blame on Condoleezza Rice myself, but Bush is the guy who picked her.

But Jay, I’m glad to know that you admire President Obama for keeping us safe longer than Bush did. You going to vote for him when he wins re-election in 2012 on the grounds of national security?

I’m not over my skepticism that Zazi is a for real terrorist and not another clown. I don’t know enough to have an opinion yet.

Proof, please.

the fact is the administration was largely responsible for bringing Al Qaeda to its knees, killing a bunch of their leaders, putting a strangle-hold on their money and foiling many other attacks

…after 3,000 citizens were murdered on U.S. soil.

As for 9/11, once again you dunderheads need to be reminded that 9/11 came about as the ‘cherry on top’ of a string of terrorist attacks where all we did was make empty promises about “bringing people to justice” and dithering around with a few missile strikes instead of really taking it to Al Qaeda. You can idiotically blame President Bush all you want, but the fact is the administration was largely responsible for bringing Al Qaeda to its knees, killing a bunch of their leaders, putting a strangle-hold on their money and foiling many other attacks by being able to leverage The Patriot Act, something many commenting here were bitching should have been overturned.

Thankfully, President Obama didn’t listen to the loon left with regard to The Patriot Act and that’s part of the reason why DHS, FBI and CIA were able to foil these attacks.

How does making a bomb while one is having violent spasms work out? I suppose the fellow was lucky the cops arrested him before he blew himself up.

(thought I’d get into explosives synthesis as a Chem major in college, but Music and Computers proved much more interesting and lucrative).

As difficult as I believe it would be to obtain large quantities of high-purity H2O2, I’d think the suspects were more probably looking at making car bombs that, while making large-scale destruction, likely wouldn’t be taking down buildings.

Add to that the difficulty in handling and transporting the chemicals, and I’d think these dudes more probably would blow themselves up than accomplish their ‘ends’.

Still…..good thing the Feds caught them. Now, if only they’d go after the *other* scary terrorists NOT named Mohammad, or Najibullah, or Adbul….the ones working for groups like ‘Project Rescue’, or ‘Earth First’ with names like Smith, or Roeder, or Rudolf. *Those* people worry me more than that Zazi’s, because they’re *already* armed and dangerous, and under the Radar…….

Justadood, put. the slide rule. down. and back slowly away.

For the record, it’s silly to praise Obama this early in his administration for a national defense record. We’ll have to wait seven more years for that. But it was mind-numbingly ridiculous to hear cons defend Bush for “only” one 9/11, and then pretend the anthrax attacks never happened.

they would have had to get a *lot* of H2O2, though….as I recall, McVeigh had close to a *ton* of NaNO2 fertilizer and fuel oil for the Murrah Bldg. For a large bldg in NYC you’re gonna wanna make a HUGE bang….(goes off grumbling to his slide-rule)

And yet, now that we see actual terrorist plots foiled, I somehow doubt a single wing-nut will give Obama any credit for keeping us safe.

Is it because they are hypocrites or racists? Or quite possibly both?

I’m never going to be able to look at the phrase “blonde bombshell” the same way again, am I?
