I agree with Waters. Al Qaeda hasn't got the means to wage war on American soil. And 9/11 happened because our government affirmatively let us down. All they had to do was be commonsensical and and marginally competent and it wouldn't have happened. If there were no soveireign immunity the families of the slain would have a claim for negligence, maybe recklessness, especially against the CIA. But all that bungling is probably not Bush's fault.

I'm a pretty dense guy, but I'm guessing by the responses I see here that the general answer is "no, he gets no credit."
Too bad we can't run an alternative-world scenario and see if all of you would say the same in reverse, had there been one or many more attacks. |
How do you define what constitutes a terrorist attack?
Do the DC beltway sniper attacks qualify? Anthrax attacks? |

Bush's decision to go to war against Iraq was much more deadly than all of AQ's attacks on civilians in the west put together, it can be argued. |

Neither makes sense to me, but if you are intent on going down the road of giving credit, how can you do so without assigning blame? Why would I give any President credit for no terrorist attacks on US soil when those are such isolated events to begin with? they almost never happen. Hopefully you will give Obama credit for no 9/11 attacks next year. |

If Crowton had punted and settled for winning by 3 instead of 9, he would still have his job.
Unless of course Stanford would have scored even if he did punt. |
