Why has'nt the USA been attacked?

[muckmaw]

I'm wondering about this.

I mean, things have been quiet in the US for almost 3 years now.

Al-Qaeda and friends promised 9-11 would be just the small start to a relentless campaign.

So......

Did they forget about us?

Somehow I doubt that.

So what has prevented attacks on the US in the past 3 years?

Luck? Counterintel?

Is it possible that the Bush administration has done a good job at keeping the US safe?

Or is Al Qaeda hatching a plan and the incubation period is longer than we thought?

Any thoughts?

It's easier for terrorists to attack US troops in Iraq/Afganistan than it is to plot a domestic attack in the US.

That said, didn't the 9/11 attacks come after about 4-5 years of planning?

I heard that as well, Mickey.

I was of the belief that such a  complicated terroist network could plan and execute several complex plans at once.

Actualy there is competition

Alquaida announced to award some amouth of gold for dead coalition soldier.

I think they already posted reward on Powell's head and Bush's head.

These guys are kind bunch of funny dweebs.


But im glad to read that xxxxxx soldiers has been killed instead of xxxxx civilians.

Lada, do you have a theory to add or not?

[Red Tail 444]

Who can tell..maybe, maybe not...Something could happen tomorrow, next year, in ten years, or never..

One could also argue that the FBI and ATF have prevented terrorist attacks from RW extremist groups since OK City...

If we had a baseline to compare to then we could illustrate some statistically significant difference, but it's very difficult to confirm with a (hopefully) one-time event.

I thought 9/11 was the first stage of a plan that took 4-5 years..... I thought they had the rest all planned out.

[Ripsnort]

Better question is, had we done nothing after 9.11, would we have had more terrorist attacks on US soil?

A bunch of Muslims created that theory on Sept 11.

So I guess it was just a bunch of backwoods Afghan Yahoos that took out a chunk of my favorite skyline and a nice sized piece of the Pentagon.

Afghanistan. No more Taliban support. Leadership scattered. Fear of the big U.S. boot coming down. Roaches scattering when the light is turned on.

Unfortunately, we chose to invade Iraq and we're actively recruiting for them after our bonehead moves in the prisons so the danger is probably greater than it ws before.

They were Saudis.
