We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here, no?

Mission Accomplished.
I'm pretty sure Spidey said "Obama," not Bu-bu-bu-BOOOOSH!

Try to keep up.

The fact of the matter is that we have been VERY successful in preventing the most dangerous of our enemies from ever reaching our shores. We're hunting and fighting them on hundreds of fronts around the world every single day. The few who have gotten through our nets are assclowns compared to the evil bastards we've buried six feet under overseas. Most of them simply got lucky. Even so, we've stopped most of them as well.

I'm also not sure what Spidey's point was. The terrorist threat is eternal, regardless of who becomes President. There will always be X number of attacks, attempts, or plots against us, even on our own soil. This fact is something all of us need to accept and live with for the rest of our lives. We also need to ensure our own children grow up with a proper respect and awareness of the threats that exist. Please note that I don't support the "let's all freak out and hide under our beds" paranoia that swept our nation right after 9/11, but we do need to stick with the fight for the long haul and never take our eyes off the ball again.

Ever vigilant.

These Muslims fail at terrorism. The absolute pinnacle of their sophistication is somewhere between burning their balls off with a shitty inoperable underwear bomb and placing gasoline cans fireworks and propane tanks in a parked car.

Mental Midgets.

Anyone knows what it takes to get an propane tank to explode?

I gotta agree with Linflas, the police and homeland security are investigating all the available evidence leads, and quite a few its likely no one on this forum have thought of.

The cops and homeland security may owe the American people some reports on their progress, but when full disclosure would almost certainly compromise the law enforcement's ability to investigate, I for one feel that law enforcement would be damn fools to release too much information to the general public, because the chief beneficiary would be the criminals themselves. That and the fact that crimes of this nature tend to attract nutcases all over that confess to a crimes they did not commit, further draining law enforcement resources in tracking down false leads.

Face the facts, its a who done it, and I have no delusions that wild off the walls speculations at extreme distance will advance catching the real perps in any way.

I never said any such thing. I simply pointed out that Spidey wasn't talking about Bush when he made his point and his list.

Personally, I place blame on both Bush and Obama for many different things.. along with a heavy dose of blame on every other President who has held office during the last 40-50 years.

Then again, more than anything, I blame the terrorists themselves for the evil they dispense upon the world.

I'm guessing you missed most of my other points -- those related to our actual success rates and need to remain vigilant -- because your tiny little piece of gray matter was too wrapped around the Bush/Obama blamegame to understand the rest.

You're predictably moronic, did ya know that?

I'd bet this person is white, red neck, no real or current party affiliation. Only watches fox and listens to Rush/Palin daily. Convinced his little world is threatened by everything imaginable. Talks about missing "the good old days", but can not define what the good old days were, exactly. No facebook friends. Turns his house lights out on halloween to avoid trick r treaters. Would never own a cell phone. Still uses dial-up ISP. Still runs a pc using windows ME. Member of several online porn sites. Never dates fearing AIDs. Sneaks money out of the "save the children" box. Into heavy metal music. Lived at home until kicked out by his parents. Could not hold his job at McDonalds as a teen.

Who gives a shit?

One failed car bomb..big fuckin deal.

Americans give a shit. But you come crying here, acting all butt-hurt, everytime a Palestinian throws a rock at your precious Israelis. 'It's Obama's fault they're throwing rocks. It's Obama's fault. Waah'. Go the fuck away, troll.

Do they give a shit that their country is allied with the premier sponsor of Islamic terrorism and more specifically, Al-Qaeda?

Wow that's a pretty specific prediction.
