It's completely absolutely obvious that you don't understand the concept of how effective a program is by judging how many attacks there have been. But you can't say the program has not been effective either. It's still an assumption. If there is an attack tomorrow, would you say the program is no longer effective?
It's completely obvious that you don't understand the concept of successfully NOT being attacked. We have no way of knowing how many threats have been thwarted, but are you naive enough to believe there has not even been ONE threat to the US since 9-11?? If you say YES, then I have an explanation for a lot of things you post.
The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding being attack or no attack. In this case, none.
IF there was an attack tomorrow, then the system would be a complete failure, and I have already stated as much if you care to remove your partisan leftist blinders and actually absorb what is being said instead of railing against any and everything you percieve as not being a Democrat position.
IF Obama was a Republican and McCain a Dem, and their positions were exactly the same, your allegiances would be reversed??
IF we never invaded Iraq, gas would be $1.50??
IF we left Hitler in power, we'd be speaking German right now??
IF Lincoln had appointed Butler instead of Grant, you'd own yourself a couple of slaves??
IF a frog had wings, it could fly.
IF as an argument or counterpoint sucks, aight?
