hmm...seems very quiet on that front.
I find it interesting because repubs like to falsely claim there hasn't been a terrorist attack on american soil since 9/11......

Has georgie boy or asscroft found that guy yet? are they even looking for him?
Is he hiding in the same place as Osama, so that they are unable to locate him?

wake up people, several people killed, whole post office branches shut down, congressmen targeted (although only dem congressmen, so who cares?)....

and we don't know ANYTHING about it?

Those who say there hasn't been a terrorist attack since 9/11 are also forgetting the Washington Sniper, no?

The Bush administration doesn't want to hunt down the anthrax killer because many of his victims (postal workers, old people) were liberals, which is provided legitimacy by the Patriot Act.

is this a racist remark?

regardless, Bush claims he kept the country safe SINCE 9/11 (overlooking that he didn't keep us safe ON 9/11), but here we have examples where he could not.

Don't forget the equally indicative 'Timothy' and 'Theodore'.

So, what about the Anthrax killer?

Last I ever heard was that the Anthrax was definitely identified as originating from a specific US bio-weapons facility. That should have made it pretty easy to narrow it down to less than a handful of suspects.

It totally dropped off the radar after that.

Why?

Bush says, "That's why it's essential that we make sure that we keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of people like Al Qaida, which we are. But to say that there's only one focus on the war on terror doesn't really understand the nature of the war on terror. Of course we're after Saddam Hussein."

And here's another debate quote:

LEHRER: We'll come back to Iraq in a moment. But I want to come back to where I began, on homeland security. This is a two-minute new question, Senator Kerry.

As president, what would you do, specifically, in addition to or differently to increase the homeland security of the United States than what President Bush is doing?

KERRY: Jim, let me tell you exactly what I'll do. And there are a long list of thing. First of all, what kind of mixed message does it send when you have $500 million going over to Iraq to put police officers in the streets of Iraq, and the president is cutting the COPS program in America?

What kind of message does it send to be sending money to open firehouses in Iraq, but we're shutting firehouses who are the first- responders here in America.

The president hasn't put one nickel, not one nickel into the effort to fix some of our tunnels and bridges and most exposed subway systems. That's why they had to close down the subway in New York when the Republican Convention was there. We hadn't done the work that ought to be done.

The president -- 95 percent of the containers that come into the ports, right here in Florida, are not inspected. Civilians get onto aircraft, and their luggage is X-rayed, but the cargo hold is not X- rayed.

Does that make you feel safer in America?

This president thought it was more important to give the wealthiest people in America a tax cut rather than invest in homeland security. Those aren't my values. I believe in protecting America first.

And long before President Bush and I get a tax cut -- and that's who gets it -- long before we do, I'm going to invest in homeland security and I'm going to make sure we're not cutting COPS programs in America and we're fully staffed in our firehouses and that we protect the nuclear and chemical plants.

The president also unfortunately gave in to the chemical industry, which didn't want to do some of the things necessary to strengthen our chemical plant exposure.

And there's an enormous undone job to protect the loose nuclear materials in the world that are able to get to terrorists. That's a whole other subject, but I see we still have a little bit more time.

Let me just quickly say, at the current pace, the president will not secure the loose material in the Soviet Union -- former Soviet Union for 13 years. I'm going to do it in four years. And we're going to keep it out of the hands of terrorists.

LEHRER: Ninety-second response, Mr. President.

BUSH: I don't think we want to get to how he's going to pay for all these promises.

I've read this(meaning the entire post) through severavl times, and I have to admit I really don't get what you're trying to say.
