    I'm obviously only counting Islamic terrorism.

    I cannot fault Clinton for Oklahoma City or the church bombings or school shootings.

    Oh, the anthrax incidents are still being investigated. They may well have nothing to do with Islamic groups.

    If you are going to count Tanzania, Kenya, and the Cole, you have to count the attack on September 17, 2008 embassy of the United States, in San‘a’, Yemenn.

    Islamic Jihad of Yemen, an al Qaeda affiliate, has claimed responsibility for the attack.

    And CLinton was President for all of two months before the first World Trade Center bombing.

    One more thing....

    Where's all the gloating at?

    You guys couldn't wait to see Mrs Palin get demolished by Biden. He was gonna mop the floor with her. She was gonna be a stammering idiot, remember. Looks like she held her own. Hell, he was one who had to try and fake-cry during the debate!

    Too bad she couldn't answer the questions she was asked and just stuck to her scripted talking points.

    But what was Clinton's response?

    He bombed an aspirin factory! The Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory. Remember that? Why did he do that? Because he relied on faulty intelligence. Is it coming back now? That plant produced 50% of Sudan's medications for both people and animals.

    How come he is not being raked over the coals by you guys? I mean innocent people died and suffered because Clinton relied on faulty intelligence.

    As did Biden.

    But again, she was supposed to be made a fool of. Who was wrong on that one?

    Under Clinton the attacks were repeated over and over.
    Please note the highlighted portion above. If you were going to discuss attacks outside of the US homeland (so to speak) then you shouldn't have been so specific.

    Embassies are considered US soil. The attack in Yemen last month was a direct assault on US soil.

    My take on the debate

    It was a 'draw'.

    I do think Biden came off as a politician. The Home Depot pandering, the smile, the fake crying, the bad hair plugs. He looked like a politician.

    Mrs Palin came off as a more 'normal' person. She was not polished, she was nervous. But she talked to people, not talked down to people.

    Thank you. As are a country's warships.

    Though we disagree, you are a more rational, informed person than most of the others on here.

    She did a lot better than she has so far in her interviews, but she was coached to stick to certain points. Even her lame jokes were scripted.

    But a draw does you guys no good, anyway. You needed her to be a superstar.

    I realize that, and that is what I was going for.

    Then you have to admit the Yemen attack was an Islamic terrorist attack on US soil.

    Which came after the declaration of the war on terror.

    Yup. So 2 attacks in 7 years.

    Vs Clintons 3 attacks in 7 years.

    So who has been more effective?
