15 December 2009 - 14:10Al Qaeda Attacks – The New Economic Stimulus Package
I have long held that one of the reasons that we have not suffered an attack within the United States since 9/11 from Al Qaeda is due to the belief the mere threat of them is the actual attack. Bin Laden has stated he wants to attack us by all means possible, including economic attacks. Since the occurrence of 9/11, he and his organization have been able to be the bully on the block, forcing us to respond in what we believe to be an appropriate response to their threats. This response mechanism has caused us to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, and upwards of 1 billion dollars of economic impact for isolated incidents.
