No terror attacks in US since war of terror?
The Bushbots are fond of saying that there have been no terrorist attacks in the US since Bush waged war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

What about the Anthrax attacks on capital hill?

What about the two bombs planted outside the British Consolate in New York in 2005?

Any others out there not reported or not reported as “terrorist” attacks?

1. We've been under constant attack from George Bush...
...the greatest threat there is to the free world!

2. They attacked us while Bush was President & sleeping at the wheel
Over 3000 people killed because of his incompetence isn't enough for these idiots? They celebrate that he "only" got 3000 killed and nobody since?

3. The mail-in ricin attack against Cat Killer Frist's Senate office
and the mail-in ricin attack against the WH.

and the Shoe Bomber (but that weren't on 'Merican soil so that don't count).

and the DC snipers (but that was a crime and not no Terrrisms)

4. Thanks, those are good examples of attacks that were not
labeled as terror when they fit all the criteria.

6. ...and the kid who flew the plane into the bank in Florida
...And though he left a note pledging homage to bin Laden, he was mentally ill (as opposed to 'normal' people who'd fly their plane into a building) and white-skinned to boot, so that doesn't count.

And of course, the various plots and military arms caches discovered around the South over the last few years (I remember at least two or three) didn't count, since they were right-wingers.
