ace...the data (as is usually the case with IBD editorials) is cherry picked and incomplete...for the purpose of making an ambiguous conclusion ("something has made us safer...") fit the limited data presented.

Show a little intellectual curiosity and read SOURCE data and not just editorial opinions with a pre-determined bias with which you are likely to agree....if you are really interested in fully understanding the impact that our invasion and occupation of Iraq has had on "the terrorist threat" as assessed by the US intelligence community.

ace...if you want to go down this route again....start a new thread!

but dont expect me to rise to your latest "challenge" until you do your homework.
