Have the BushCO/neocon policies decreased or increased terrorism?

[Just Me]

Just askin'.

Do we have resources from which we can compare the success/failure of this administration with respect to their "war against terrorism"?

Will you help me ascertain those facts? I wouldn't ask except I'm so worn out from other demands.

1. A monumental increase.

Afterall, Bushco is the world's leading terror group.

2. U.S. Reports 11,000 Terror Attacks Worldwide in 2005

The U.S. State Department reported on Friday that about 11,000 terror attacks occurred around the world last year, in which more than 14,600 people were killed.

Figures in the department's annual Country Reports on Terrorism, which was released on Friday, showed a sharp increase in the number of attacks in 2005 from 3,192 in 2004.

4. I'd like to find, and am looking, for another resource.

However, interesting that the U.S. State Department, itself, is reporting such an incredible increase basically PROVING this administration's complete failure in decreasing acts of terror.

Kinda' cool, actually.

7. darn tootin I can... It's a fairly well-known quote...

In Bush at War Bob Woodward writes, "Most presidents have high hopes. Some have grandiose visions of what they will achieve, and he was firmly in that camp."

"To answer these attacks and rid the world of evil," says Bush. And again, "We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of this great nation." Grandiose visions. Woodward comments, "The president was casting his mission and that of the country in the grand vision of Gods Master Plan."

6. Strangely, what used to be an independent resource tracking terrorism,...

,...has now been dominated by the Dept. of State. I suppose I should have anticipated that after having a conversation with a hired propaganda had a couple years ago.

Are there no other independent sources tracking this information? :shrug:
