"We're not batting 100%" ?? OK. talk to me. Show me why we are not batting 100%. What terrorist has been successful lately?

My point was, and remains, maybe it isn't just dumb luck when someone bats 100%.

It's not entirely dumb luck. Terrorism just isn't a very serious threat in the US even considering how much Bush likely exacerbated hatred against the US.
I'd add this thought, although it may get me another warning.

(I can't start a new thread for a couple more weeks. )

Has anyone noticed how the Right was ramping up the rhetoric to demand we torture this guy to get information? And then suddenly the ramp-up stopped? lmao. Apparently America's legal system in fact Mirandized this guy and did all the right things, Oh my, oh my. Imagine the Right's dismay and shock when this guy started talking. Apparently they can't get the perp to shut up. But how can that be, you ask? The "left" and "right" are both lying to the people and splitting wedge issues (read: hairs). At least that's the impression I get. They both try to paint themselves as different, but really they differ on a few wedge issues and do not care about addressing real problems. Some wedge issues are bigger than others, but the two sides don't really try to make themselves different where it counts in my book.
