How many attacks here in the US have you seen since we went into Iraq?

Zero. How many attacks were there in the US between 9/12/2001 and 3/18/2003?
Zero. Doesn't look like enough data to draw any conclusions. Other trends
are a little worrisome, however: according to the state department's own
report, though, the number of "significant terrorist acts" has increased
from 124 in 2001 to 169 in 2003 (this is world wide). Check out:

More worrisome is that only the stupid ones
are going to Iraq (where they become dead or experienced and stupid).
The
smart ones are raising money and/or plotting major attacks outside of
Iraq.
Must not be many smart ones, then.

Let's hope that is the case.

Being as
we are getting the job done with 130K, why do you say that Shinseki was
right when he claimed it would take "several hundreds of thousands"?

Given recent history, the notion that we are "getting the job done with
130K" troops is, at least, a matter of debate.
