Left or right wing blog has nothing to do with it (did you click the video?) The video is a story by MSNBC about a classified government report dating to March this year. At the direction of Congress 21 airports were infiltrated and mix-and-use bombs carried onto airplanes undetected. Just like the guys in London are supposed to have been planning. 21 airports - and only this weekend do we screen for those types of materials. There have been three significant terrorist attacks on US soil and two of those involved Muslims trying to topple the World Trade Center towers. The third was domestic and in your own back yard. No terrorist attacks since 9/11? Thats five years. After WTC 1 there were no foreign-based terrorist attacks for 12 years, but according to neo-con folklore we weren't paying any attention at all to the threat. So what kind of credit does the Gov't deserve for no attacks in the past 5 years? "Do nothing" and nothing happens for 13 years - why would you expect another attack in the past five years? I don't want to seem like I'm berating you into some sort of attitude adjustment, I'm not. Your thoughts are your own. I am trying to clarify the point of my post.

Well the WMD thing was the original "reason" we invaded Iraq; right? I don't think any reasoning person anywhere will state catagorically that that was a good idea anymore. So that is the point; a phony reason to invade a soveriegn nation; and we see how that has turned out. What is the death toll now and they are talking about splitting the country three ways as the only way to extricate us from this mess of lost lives.
