Navy, check out the topic I opened that says the report stating the reduction in attacks was a miscalculation and they do not expect the numbers to be too much higher than 2002.

Well Navy, the moderator saw fit to delete the topic on the recalculation of the number of terror attacks. Here it is.

Well, that's a setback, for sure.

Now, I just hope that when the report is finalized that the news won't be as bad as the ABB crowd wants it to be.

The time between the first WTC attack and the second was what, 8 years? They are patient.

they will lay in wait, hating, until the opportunity arises. then - Wham!

You have to do a lot of ignoring to come to this conclusion.

To wit:

Feb. 1993 - WTC bombed. 6 Americans dead.

THEN you claim no attacks until 8 years later? Huh?

Oh, I guess then you choose to ignore and forget:

June 1996 - Khobar Towers, Saudi Arabia, bombed. 19 Americans dead.

August 1998 - US Embassy in Kenya bombed.
August 1998 - US Embassy in Tanzania bombed.
Total Americans killed in these attacks: 224.

October 2000 - USS Cole bombed. 17 Americans dead.

Then of course, there was 9/11, where nearly 3,000 Americans were killed. If not for the bravery of those on Flight 93 (my neighbor was the pilot) there'd have been hundreds, if not thousands, more.

Now - what's this bullhockey about waiting 8 years to attack?
They attacked us and killed 260 Americans during that 8 year period.

But of course, it takes a lot of ignoring to believe the hogwash you spread.

By the way, thanks for that video 95 bxl.

I'm amazed at how the American media won't show the video of the attacks on 9/11. They claim it might "hurt our sensibilities".

Yeah, right. But we get 24/7 of a handful of terrorists being humiliated.

Ok then.

the 8 years was between attacks on American soil.

Japan was a nation state that attacked us and we knew who it was. The WTC attacks were pulled off by terrorists that are not easily defined our found. There is no country to attack. See?

There is not a decrease in attacks, based on the information people keep deleting, proving the war on terror is a scam. So here it is again.

Here is a link about the orginal report, full of disinformation from the administration:

Here is the updated - oops we got busted info: (if you do not like my link, it is VERY easy to find your own)

Here is the text of another report from the Guardian

Terror report's 'good news' turns bad

Agencies
Friday June 11, 2004

The US state department today retracted a report that claimed terrorist attacks were on the decline, after it turned out they had actually increased.
The Bush administration hailed the initial annual assessment as proof of the success of the war on terror when it was published in April, but officials have now been forced to concede the revised figures for 2003 will show a sharp upturn in the number of attacks.

Colin Powell, the US secretary of state, denied the errors were part of deliberate effort to make the administration look good.

"Nobody has suggested that the war on terrorism has been won," he told reporters. "The president has made it clear that it is a war that continues and that we have to redouble our efforts.

"I am very disturbed that there were errors in the report. We're going to correct it."

The Patterns of Global Terrorism report said terrorist attacks fell to 190 last year, the lowest figure since 1969, from 198 in 2002. It also said the number of people killed dropped to 307, including 35 US citizens, from 725 in 2002, a total which included 27 Americans.

State department spokesman Richard Boucher said the 2003 figures were likely to be higher than the report suggested, though the number of deaths may not exceed the 2002 figures. He explained that the writers of the report appeared to have made a series of mistakes including failing to count attacks for the full year and possibly misinterpreting the definition of such attacks.

One US official, who asked not to be named, told the Reuters news agency that the report failed to count "international terrorist attacks" after November 11, 2003.

"The data in the report is incomplete and in some cases incorrect," Mr Boucher said, admitting his department failed to catch the mistakes. "We got the wrong data and we didn't check it enough ... That's the simplest explanation for what happened."

When the report was released, Mr Powell's deputy, Richard Armitage, said it provided "clear evidence that we are prevailing in the fight" while the state department's counterterrorism coordinator, Cofer Black, hailed its "good news".

Mr Boucher said the department learned of the report's errors in the first week of May and began an investigation.

In other words, Kyle is saying, "Blah blah blah blah blah blah to hell with Americans killed when they're not on our soil blah blah blah blah blah."

Beneath contempt.

Go spew your venom to the families of the deceased from all those attacks in the 1990s and in 2000 and see what they think of your opinion.

"Japan was a nation state that attacked us and we knew who it was. The WTC attacks were pulled off by terrorists that are not easily defined or found. There is no country to attack. See? "

Well, the Afghanistan invasion was worthwhile. That was the epicenter of Al Qaeda activity. But now the US needs to stop invading countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 and instead rely on the intelligence to capture the remaining terrorists.

This means trying to reestablish the cooperation of our allies and not *outing* CIA operatives who are investigating WMD's.
