2001 to 2008 don't count.

Apparently not. I've heard these talking heads carry on about these things before and I think she just misspoke (meaning we haven't had ANOTHER attack). Regardless, either statement is idiotic. They always want less government control BUT when they start talking about national security they want to put a leech up your ass OR ELSE THE TERRORISTS WIN!.

Get em Jon, none of the other networks will!

not a fan of fox, but giving the gal the benefit of the doubt, she likely just misspoke -- she says, 'we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during president bush's term' - bush served two terms... perhaps in her gushing she simply left out the word 'second' before uttering the word 'term' -- i dunno, is it that much of a stretch?

tempest in a teacup, imho

Are these guys talking about the Fort Hood shooting? What makes that a terrorist attack and not the Virginia Tech shooting?

Well, obviously, the Ft. Hood shooter was a "scary Muslim," which makes it a terrorist act by default.

Nope, no terrorist attacks in the USA 2000 - 2008. Though there was quite a bit of state sponsored terrorist attacks in Iraq from 2003 on.

April;30 0 0 United StatesElettsville, Indiana The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) claimed responsibility for causing over $500,000 in damages to construction equipment in Elettsville, Indiana. Fourteen pieces of logging and construction equipment were destroyed by the perpetrators, who filled gas tanks with sand, cut fuel and hydraulic lines and set a tractor-trailer filled with wood chips on fire. Graffiti found at the scene read, "Go develop in Hell," "ELF" and "This machine is evil." The equipment was being used for a state-run project to build a four-lane highway in the area. In their written statement, the group writes, "the government and developers are mad with greed and there will be no limit to what they destroy until we take away the profit from their schemes."[48]

9/11 doesn't count! *Every president gets a freebie!



*Every president refers only to white republican presidents, special terms may apply, offer may change without notice.

>> ^invader:

Quite a comprehensive list. Could use a little formatting.

It's just what I could find on wikipedia in 2 minutes. Yeah, the formatting sucks. I'm not sure how to do a nice table in a sift comment

Might try to clean it up when I get home from work.

She really doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

She did not "mis-speak."

She was lying and she knew it damn good and well.

& She wasn't "lying", she believed what she said. Most republicans actually think Bush's presidency started when 9/11 happened. They're not far off. He didn't actually do anything before that aside from take vacations.

Okay Fox News, we'll let you win and we'll say this was a terrorist attack. Now what? Do we invade Iran under false pretenses?

She is right, we had a total do-over for 9/11 in 2002, I dont remember any problems

The Bush administration systematically blocked a 9/11 investigation, to the extent that they would agree to an interview with Bush and Cheney--together in the same room, at the same time...not under oath--and that no record of the interview be kept.

I remember.

Well, he didn't do much after that besides take vacations either. At least he shot for the stars and holds the record for most vacation time - not that the president really goes on vacation.
