So Who Is Weak On Terrorism?
Question:What do these have in common?
- 9/11/2001 - 4 Al Qaeda attacks using hijacked commercial airplane flights
- Winter 2001-2002 - a series of terror attacks in which the terrorist(s) used the US Postal Service to deliver biological weapons - letters containing anthrax
- December 22, 2001 - the Al Qaeda "shoe bomber" terror attack on an airplane flying from Paris to Miami
- July 4, 2002 - terror attack on the El Al ticket counter at LAX
- October 2002 (a 3 week period) "DC sniper" terror attacks
- March 3, 2006 - a terrorist drove his SUV into a group of pedestrians in Chapel Hill, NC to honor his role model, Mohammed Atta (one of the 9/11 terrorists)
- They were all terrorist attacks that occurred in the USA (or in airplanes bound for the USA).
- They all occurred while George W. Bush was President of the USA
- All but #1 (9/11) are conveniently forgotten by people who twist reality, hoping to get you to think that Republicans make American safe from terrorists (and that Democrats make us less safe)
- In each case where the terrorist(s) survived, the terrorists
- were arrested as suspects in crimes (as opposed to being treated as 'enemy combatants')
- were treated as suspects: constitutional rights were upheld
- were NOT tortured
- were tried in civilian courts
- were convicted of their criminal acts of terrorism
- are rotting away in US prisons on US soil
- were arrested as suspects in crimes (as opposed to being treated as 'enemy combatants')
- For what it's worth, in all of the attacks but #2, the perpetrators were Muslims. In the case of #2, the case was apparently a low priority for the Bush Administration. Why shouldn't it be a low priority? After all, every one of the politicians who received a contaminated letter was a Democrat. Eventually the case was closed, unsolved, because the only person close to being a suspect died (supposedly a suicide).
