They can strike where and when they want, the Borders of the USA are a joke... but then so are just about anyones unless they build an electrified fence around that is constantly patrolled and monitored 24/7. Hell even then people will be able to get in/out if they know what they are doing... Berlin proved that.
You couldn’t even buy a clue if you tried. About ¾ of AQ have been killed or captured and OBL is hiding in a cave making videotapes that sound strangely like a Michael Moore movie.Quote:

Fact is we don't know how many AQ members exist or if those leaders have been replaced, but many conservative estimates from intelligence communities worldwide have suggested the membership of active and potentially active operatives is between 15 and 20 thousand. That's not to say that they are all at this moment planting bombs. Like every organisation different people would have different functions. from fundraising, recruitment, training to actual perpatrators etc. etc.Quote:

We’ve taken steps to protect ourselves and they are working. As hard as it is for you liberals to admit the steps we put in place are working. We aren’t invincible but the only attack OBL was able to mount before the election was a video. We have work to do but we have come a long way.
Security on the Mexican boarder is something that I’d like to see strengthened.
This coming from the person who didn’t even know that WTC was attacked before 9/11. That is what’s laughable.Quote:

It only takes ONE person to carry out an attack. Here in the USA that person doesn't even have to import weapons as they are freely available thanks to our NRA and other such groups. Heck a terrorist would know how to make explosives from stuff in any hardware store.Quote:

OBL said in his video that he will bankrupt the USA. so even if we have made it harder for him, he is adapting.
And how many Terrorist Attacks in the UK can you name?Quote:

I know i cant name many outside the UK that are current, even though i see them on the news all the time... never mind over 10 years ago.
Its laughable that even now, you appear to think that people in the UK give a monkeys about what happens in the USA as a rule, we dont. Just like most Americans dont care or know about what happens in the UK or the rest of Europe.
You do realise that you only consist of 6% of the worlds population, dont you?
Out of this 6%, less than half care enough about who runs your own country enough to actually vote.
Its almost unbelievable that you think your security is good, when they dont even have to smuggle the equipment into the USA... they just goto WalMart.

As Strangelove said can you tell me any of the terrorist attacks we have had in the UK? :unsure:
