The whole “we haven’t been attacked again” benchmark of presidential awesomeness not only leaves out anthrax.

First, I’m sure the families of the 4000 dead Americans and the tens of thousands of wounded Americans from the Iraq War consider their deaths and wounds from attacks and not accidents.

Second, if only being attacked twice on our own soil is a measure of a successful presidency, then shouldn’t Carter be one of our greatest presidents?

There it is again. The bushies will keep trotting out the “history will be kind” to dubya and “his presidency was tainted right from the start by the recall” storylines until the cows come home.
We may not have been attacked here a second time during Bush’s term, but apparently he gets a pass for the 9/11 attacks happening on his watch.
And these GOP folks – the self proclaimed masters of national security – seem to not get that a bad economy is a security issue.

Right on the money, LittlePig. When you’re waging an asymmetrical campaign against a more powerful enemy you don’t waste resources. Bu$hco has done such damage to this country that bin Laden need only sit back and smile. He couldn’t have done a better job himself, and it’s cost him nothing since the initial atrocity.

And yet they make such a big deal about the USS Cole! I always ask them about Reagan’s response to the Beirut Barracks bombing , which amounted to a sacrifice of 241 American servicemen. But in the usual fabulous “Great Communicator” style, St. Ronald’s response consisted of calling the attack a “despicable act” and swearing to maintain a military force in Lebanon, a brilliant strategic move which cost this writer a close personal friend for no fucking reason whatsoever.

There must have been some coded message to the assholes among us to take the left wing to task for every loss of twenty people or less and treat it in the harshest possible terms as the highest form of perfidy, while ignoring any and all incidents such as the Marine Barracks as minor miscalculations.

Don’t forget the shoe bomber, I know I don’t every time I go to the airport. Really if you factor in the millions of hours of lost productivity from us taking off our shoes every time we go through security the cost must be extraordinary. I am thinking in the tens of billions of dollars.

It looks bad on a sign to have Jail….Israel. I’m going with Olmert. He’s the fucker that designed this horror. And we’ve got a modicum of public recognition in the “name brand”. At least among the Jews.
Peace
