Terrorism by the numbers (Clinton vs. Bush)

[Pab Sungenis]

In another forum, someone offered something Bush has done to benefit all Americans (instead of just the wealthy few) as the following:

Has there been a terrorist attack against another American city since 9/11/01?

I didn't think so.

So, I thought I would offer some comparisons:

Terrorist attacks on American soil during Clinton's term: 2.
Number of successful prosecutions from said events during Clinton's term: 2.
Number of executions from said prosecutions: 1.
Number of life sentences from said prosecutions: 1.

Terrorist attacks on American soil during Bush's term: 1.
Number of successful prosecutions from said events during Bush's term: 0.
Number of executions from said prosecutions: 0.
Number of life sentences from said prosecutions: 0.

Number of people killed in terrorist attacks on American soil under Clinton: 171.
Number of people killed in terrorist attacks on American soil under Bush: 2998.

Number of Al-Qaeda attacks confirmed stopped under Clinton: 1.
Number of Al-Qaeda attacks confirmed stopped under Bush: 0.

Number of Saudis involved in terrorist attacks under Clinton: 0.
Number of Saudis involved in terrorist attacks under Bush: 15.

Number of Iraqis involved in terrorist attacks under Clinton: 0.
Number of Iraqis involved in terrorist attacks under Bush: 0.

People killed by Islamist terrorism under Clinton: 6.
People killed by Republican terrorist under Clinton: 165.

1. Do your figures include

the American Sailors killed when the USS Cole was damaged by a bomb blast.

2. The key word was "on American soil."

Otherwise, the Bush numbers would be even more inflated, too.

3. What would the new numbers be.

4. The Anthrax Killer wasn't a terrorist?
