    I'm sure wounded and dead victims of terrorist attacks really care if it was a jihadist or not.

    I doubt they do too, but it matters for prevention.

    So tell me what Bush did differently that would have specifically prevented the two brothers from planting a bomb in Boston?

    Don't know. That stuff isn't made public. I mostly concern myself with results. EITs?

    He means jihadists. This is clear from the first sentence as I said.

    Except when the results are the largest terrorist attack ever on this nation that killed more than 3000 people. Then the results don't really count, and you'll just give that one a pass.

    Great talking to you, Doc Tal.

    In barely four years in office, five jihadists have reached their targets in the United States under Barack Obama: the Boston Marathon bomber, the underwear bomber, the Times Square Bomber, the Fort Hood shooter, and in my own state—the Little Rock recruiting office shooter. In the over seven years after 9/11 under George W. Bush, how many terrorists reached their target in the United States? Zero! We need to ask, ‘Why is the Obama Administration failing in its mission to stop terrorism before it reaches its targets in the United States?’

    Read it again. If he means 'jihadist'.......then keep using the term. He....as you can see by the bolded lettering......does not say 'jihadists' when describing the Bush (Post 9/11) era or the 'failure' of Obama to stop........'jihadists'. He is talking in a bigger term of 'terrorism/terrorists'.

    But, if you know what he 'means'.......I'll take your word for it. Or not.....

    Bush would have never had the opportunity to stop something like this. He was too busy starting two wars that led to this mess we are in.

    So he is comparing the number of jihadists to reach their mark after 9/11 under Bush vs the number of terrorists to reach their mark under Obama? makes sense......

    A series of trial exhibits suggested Malvo and Muhammad were motivated by an affinity for Islamicist Jihad.[31]

    Exhibit 65-006: A self-portrait of Malvo in the cross hairs of a gun scope shouting, "ALLAH AKBAR!" The word "SALAAM" scrawled vertically. A lyric from Bob Marley's Natural Mystic "Many more will have to suffer. Many more will have to die. Don't ask me why."
    Exhibit 65-016: A portrait of Saddam Hussein with the words "INSHALLAH" and "The Protector," surrounded by rockets labeled "chem" and "nuk".
    Exhibit 65-043: Father and son portrait of Malvo and Muhammad. "We will kill them all. Jihad."
    Exhibit 65-056: A self-portrait of Malvo as sniper, lying in wait, with his rifle. "JIHAD" written in bold letters.
    Exhibit 65-067: A suicide bomber labeled "Hamas" walking into a McDonald's restaurant. Another drawing of the Twin Towers burning captioned: "85 percent chance Zionists did this." More scrawls: "ALLAH AKBAR," "JIHAD" and "Islam will explode."
    Exhibit 65-103: A lion accompanies chapter and verse from the Koran (Sura 2:190): "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you and slay them wherever ye catch them."
    Exhibit 65-109: Portrait of Osama bin Laden, captioned "Servant of Allah."
    Exhibit 65-117: The White House drawn in crosshairs, surrounded by missiles, with a warning: "Sep. 11 we will ensure will look like a picnic to you" and "you will bleed to death little by little."
    Exhibit 65-101: Malvo's thought for the day: "Islam the only true guidance, the way of peace."

    4,486 Americans killed in Iraq since 2003. Those results?

    Just because I love being bored and awake........how would you classify the 11 embassy attacks under Bush? Are those terror attacks? Or jihadist attacks?
