OFF TOPIC - but you never answered me - about your comment -

re: #1066 avanti

What the hell are you talking about? It seems to me NO ONE was killed for almost 8 years in this country by a terrorist. Or did I miss something?

My husband has a business associate that reads WMD specialist - and the guy works inside the US. 40 Al Queda guys just infected themselves accidentally with bubonic plague - the equivalent of a bomber blowing himself up accidentally.

Our enemies are relentlessly probing our vulnerabilities. Cheney know all the attempts -and the progress that has been made on the enemies’ side. We have no way of adequately defending an open society only through defense - we have to be lucky every day - the terrorists only have to be lucky once.

That’s why we have to be on offense against them.
