Al Qaeda Offers Obama Conditional Truce If Troops Leave Muslim World

Looks like bush did some good afterall

I thought that was obvious 5 years ago, but we all know that a certain percentage of the population will scapegoat Bush for anything. These are the same people that refuse to admit that 8 years without an attack is proof that we are safer

We are not even safe from our own government.

Unless you count the numerous attacks on our interests abroad (Our embassies in Yemen and Pakistan both get attacked in some fashion about twice a year) and the various Al Qaeda attacks on our allies, especially in Europe. Not sure how many Americans total have died due to terror abroad since 9/11 but I know its more than 50. One car bombing at the embassy in Yemen last year killed 16, and one of the attacks in Europe got 22.

Its so bad that a lot of Americans wear Canadian patches when they travel so they won't be targeted.

And while we might not have been attacked by Al Qaeda on the homefront, we have been attacked by our own homegrown terrorists like the Beltway Sniper, the Anthrax Mailer, the Alabama shootings this past March , etc

But 7 months without an attack and we're somehow unsafe, that logic still confuses me.
