If they're going to hit us, at least have then wack DC and get rid of the garbage running the country. They'd be happy and we'd be better off.
No, if they're gonna hit us I'd rather they hit that city than a real American one like Lancaster, Minneapolis, Fargo, etc.
This simply cannot be true. One of the perks we were to receive by electing Barack Obama was to be loved by every nation in the world.
Since 2005? So they've just been sitting on this for seven years or is this someone with a pro-war agenda trying to dig up old nonsense in attempt to stoke the fires of war? My money is on the later.
Because people were not prepping for year before 9/11. People scoped out airport security, flight schools, etc. The longer they prep the more dangerous the attack is likely to be.
What do terrorists need to take pictures of landmarks for, anyway? What's wrong with Google Street View?
No! It's TROOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They jes' be tryne to bee-smarch da ain-jelical vibe of de Obamassiah! Iss all dee White Maing's faults! (If you ask LeftForge, that is.)
There is some unwritten rule that when correcting someone else you'll invariably make a spelling/grammar error yourself.
Let's remember the mood post-9/11. Let's also remember that one of the contributing factors to the success of the attacks was the siloing of data by FBI, CIA, et al. and their inability or unwillingness to communicate with each other, much less with local law enforcement. This is one of those Catch-22 situations where, if law enforcement is overzealous, the public bitches about it, but if on the other hand something or someone falls between the cracks and another attack happens, guess who gets pilloried? There's also the - erroneous - assumption on the part of the public that when a foiled attack makes headlines, it's the only excitement law enforcement's had that week. They couldn't be more wrong.
Absolutely. I used to see this in Memphis all the time. Crime spikes in a particular neighborhood, and it's "Where are the all the police at?" MPD starts sending more cruisers to patrol that neighborhood, and within a week it's, "Why are the police always up in here?" MPD slacks off a little, and it all starts over again.
