Who deserves credit for the fact that since 9/11 there hasn't been a major terrorist attack against the USA?

Question

Bush?

The military?

Who?

Answer 1

First and foremost, IF you assign credit to the Bush administration for the fact that there haven't been any attacks in the US since 9/11, then you also have to assign responsibility to them for the 9/11 attacks happening on their watch.  And there is evidence to support they should have been prepared, if it weren't for the fact that Bush spent 8 of the first 9 months in office on vacation.

Second, while there haven't been attacks on US soil, there have been several attacks in other countries that Al Qaeda has taken responsibility for, namely the bombings in London and Madrid.  If England and Spain are our allies, it shouldn't matter whether the attacks were on US soil or not.  It's still an attack against the West.

All that said, I don't think it's quite proper to assign credit to any one group or individual or strategy for the absence of attacks on our soil.  I think it's probably a combination of factors, not the least which is that planning an attack of such magnitude requires time, training, and of course, funding.  Remember, it was 8 years between the two attacks on the WTC.

Answer 2

Bush AND the Military. Force is the only thing the enemy fears and respects.

Answer 3

home land security deserves the credit with out this new agency we would still be a easy target

Answer 4

Nobody but bush deserves the credit for causing the terrorists to consider it in the first place!!!!

Answer 5

dear god man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do you think they want to attack us. because we're like the way we are. we always go out and kill the wrong people. even if we haven't been attacked HERE...

there are continuous bombings all over the world, in london they bombed almost all the undregrounds

monthly to almost daily bombings towards the american counselet in all different countries.

i know that terrorism is wrong but it doesn't mean we have the right to kill. pick up a newspaper. we can't just keep killing there won't be enough people to kill. and then we'll just kill whoever we want.

even in their twisted horrible deadly minds. why do you think that they wanted to kill us so badly?

Answer 6

I believe the credit belongs to the military, bush, pmc's (blackwater usa, executive outcomes, etc.), and our allies in the war.

Answer 7

The stooges who control the puppet government do not have a reason to attack us again now. We have gone along like sheep to slaughter following blindly as they lead us into occupying foreign nations, slaughtering our own civil rights and now heading for a North American union. Lest we protest .... we shall see how long our safety lasts. I give the sleepy people credit. They are keeping all of us "safe" and leading us to fascism all at the same time. Groovy.

Answer 8

Our own government hasn't attacked us since 9/11 so who do you want to give credit to for that?

Answer 9

What do you think?

Answer 11

Bush is not a victim of 9/11. He is the first accused. If it did not happen again, it is because he did not plan one more 9/11. Mind you, there is no police investigation into 9/11 till now. Within an hour or two they came out with the exact names of the hijackers (may be half of them alive even now). Then they announced a war on Afghanistan without producing evidence. The process of natural justice was not followed because Bush administration is the source of the conspiracy. They said OBL was the master mind but their investigating agency says that they do not have any evidence. How can you attack another country without any evidence ? How did the International community accept it ?  

Answer 12

I'm not sure who specifically would take credit, but there is a scientific analysis of the dust samples from the rubble that points to the sophistication and the type of terrorists involved. We're not talking just Bin Laden (who had an obvious role), but others you wouldn't normally think about who were a critical factor in pulling such an event off. It wasn't Al Queda acting alone to put it another way. watch this little scientific analysis and you'll see what I mean. Amazingly, this analysis does point to who might take credit for the lack of another major terrorist attack. This is a tidbit that you'll find fascinating:
