check this out...


Eight in 10 people in the United States think the threat from terrorism is about the same or has grown worse than it was at the time of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a poll found.
About half think the threat is at the same level and three in 10 say it has grown worse, a CBS News poll found.
Other recent findings:
* Six in 10 say they have confidence in the government’s ability to protect citizens from terrorism, down from seven in 10 who felt that way before Hurricane Katrina hit. - CBS News.

* People are evenly split on the progress of the war on terrorism with 51 percent satisfied, 49 percent dissatisfied. - CNN-USA Today-Gallup.

1. I never did think we would safer

with Bush at the helm but I sure heard a lot of folks that do think we are. I'm amazed that ANYONE would feel that way now. But I'm starting to wonder if Amerians are as smart as I give them credit for being.

2. Its not the terrorists I worry about

Its my Government that scares me.The Bush Crime Family does concern me
they were willing to kill as many as 30,000 people on Sept.11 2001,fortunately thousands were able to flee the WTC.Still close to 3k
perished is a cold calculated move by the Crime Family.This wicked Family will stop at nothing to maintain power and control,even nuke one or more of our cities....

3. This has always been the disconnect

The threat from terrorism is the same or worse... but 51% are satisfied with the progress on the war on terrorism... but not satisfied with Iraq... but want to "fight them over there"...

This is insane. Somebody has to lead on terrorism because it really is the most important problem the world faces.

5. This is the only thing good that came out of Katrina. at least we know

6. THAT is the point that has to be stressed and repeated every day

until the 2006 elections and then straight thru to the 2008 elections.

WE ARE NOT SAFER!!!
In fact, the citizens of America are the least safe we have ever been in the history of this country.
