2. sure...they don't need one yet.
When they are in fear of the people in the US not "collectively" supporting their next war... we'll get one and blame it on Iran

Notice the evil countris have oil under thier feet.

4. because bush was complicit in 9-11 and used it as his Reichstag to 1)
intimidate us, suppress our liberties, deconstruct the constitution and 2) start his war of imperialistic oil and power grab.

8. bin boy got what he wanted
so there`s no need to plan another attack. the insane clowns of the right wing military groups haven`t figured out what federal building to blow up yet. and last but not least---god told george there will be no more attacks because this is now truly a christian nation under george`s guidance.

9. Yes. Because bush's PNAC knows they can't get away with it again AND
because the European countries have captured all the relevent 'terrorists' and they're off the books and not available for hire, like bush's perps on 911.

Our 911 perps were just thugs for hire, is all. Bushco and the PNAC hired them.

13. And we know why they are sooo happy to be inaugarated. They
got away with it. They actually got away with it. Good reason to spend big bucks partying.

If people don't realize now that Al-Qaeda is either way overblown or a fiction in the first place, then they'll never see anything.

It conveniently sits there for all time as the ultimate excuse for any mayhem they want to cause.

15. there won't be another until
sometime this year, probablly the summer, when even the braindead start to ask what the fuck is going on here? They use this shit for control, and distraction, I'm sure they're ready to roll out the next one, hell they were probablly ready in 02 just in case the black box failed, but, they worked like a charm and were perfected last year.
So, until things get so fucked up, they'll leave that little fuck you charlie in the bag.

19. er -- there have been lots of terror attacks since 911
Anthrax killer and AA587 in the U.S. spring to mind, as well as the copycats such as the guy who slashed the throat of the bus-driver in the bus hijacking that killed 6 in Tennessee and the kid who sent off mail bombs in the face of a smile across the map of the U.S.

Huge horrible events like Madrid and the two airplanes brought down in a day by the exploding women in Russia

The entire school full of children killed in Russia. The entire theater full of theater-goers killed.

Daily attacks in Iraq of car and truck bombings

Near-monthly attacks in Israel

I can't even keep track of all the terror attacks in India but at one point the attackers actually made it into the halls of their Parliament -- this would be in 2002 if I recall correctly

So I guess if you mean by "there have been no terror attacks" that:
My financial institution hasn't been hit lately by any bombs or airplanes, then OK there have been no terror attacks.

Otherwise let's be real. The lives lost in these other events were just as important to their families. The threat from Muslim extremists and white extremist Christian identity groups is very, very, very real, and people are still dying.

Let's not kid ourselves about this. Leave delusions to the freeps.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

20. Yup, I know why. He's saving it for when he really needs it.
I used to see a poster somewhere on the net (can't remember where) that always made me laugh. They'd bring it out whenever the "terr" level was raised on Ridge's silly color chart. The poster said, "Uh-oh! Bush's popularity is tanking... time to start scaring the shit out of people again!"
