Chimpy's REPORT CARD on the WAR ON TERROR! (He's Failing, Duh!)

World Terror Attacks Tripled in 2004 by U.S. Count

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. count of major world terrorist attacks more than tripled in 2004, a rise that may revive debate on whether the Bush administration is winning the war on terrorism, congressional aides said on Tuesday.

The number of "significant" international terrorist attacks rose to about 650 last year from about 175 in 2003, according to congressional aides briefed on the numbers by State Department and intelligence officials on Monday.

The aides were told the surge partly reflected an increased tally of violence in Kashmir, which is claimed by India and Pakistan, and the devotion of more manpower to U.S. monitoring efforts, which resulted in more attacks being counted overall.

The State Department last year initially released erroneous figures that understated the attacks, fatalities and casualties in 2003 and used the figures to claim the Bush administration was prevailing in the war on terrorism.

What are the odds that this will get any coverage in the Corporate Media? Slim to none, and slim's outta town.

It's infuriating, no? If this were a Dem President, every news channel and newspaper would be screaming about this dismal record and yet we'll hear nary a peep about it because it's a Repub President.

Fightin' terror is hard work, damnit! :eyes:

It will never make it on MSM. Go figure. *sigh* Of course they'll blame the war in Iraq or something to make Bush have a clean slate. Ugh I get so sick and tired of that nonsense.

It's the "Kashmir Factor". :eyes:

Prior to 9-11 our gvt ignored terrorist reports in America, including attacks by aircraft. America was already rife with corruption, even the cia, fbi, and law enforcement agencies were under investigation for corruption. On 9-12, those investigations ceased, all fbi and law enforcement were given more power, and Bush instructed us to "watch our neighbors" and "report suspicious activity". The patriot acts were quickly implemented, attacking our civil liberties "to protect us from terrorists who want to kill us because they hate our freedoms". Now businesses are being penalized for not reporting enough suspicious activity, while Bush makes it MORE criminal to NOT report crime, as he attempts to change the rules so "he and his" are not held accountable.

What a complete farce.

edit; IMPEACH BUSH NOW.
