If they can kill us there, they don't have to kill us here

Dick "Dick" Morris:

One of the things, though, that I think the antiwar crowd has not considered is that, if we're putting the Americans right within their arms' reach, they don’t have to come to Wall Street to kill Americans. They don't have to knock down the trade center. They can do it around the corner, and convenience is a big factor when you're a terrorist.

This explains the glorious surge: stationing American targets in Iraq demotivates terrorists from mapping our footsteps home à la Bil Keane.

The more targets we plant there, the safer we are here. No wonder we aren't armoring them.

Also, on general principles, "convenience is a big factor when you're a terrorist" is surely the greatest quote I've heard all year. And it's so true. How often have you stood behind a terrorist at Piggly Wiggly, and his cart was full of Lunchables, Easy Mac, and Hot Pockets?

The “kill em there so we

The "kill em there so we won't have to kill'em in Cretin Corners" tactic is beyond retarded, on so many levels and in so many ways, its choice as CW is almost brilliant in that one so doesn't know where the fuck to begin tearing it apart, it's paralyzing.

(Didn't Richard Clarke call it the puppy dog approach?)

Convenience like Fort Diggs

Hey, good thing the troops are dying over in Iraq to keep the NJ Six from delivering more than pizzas, right? Oh, wrong. Still waiting to see the editorials about how the flypaper theory just isn't any more valid than the domino theory. Foreign wars don't keep us safe, surprise, surprise. And they're great for recruiting terraists.
