And who has been overall in charge of this amazingly successful security effort? Who is the one person who would be taking a barrage of hateful invective had there been additional attacks ... but who instead deserves the highest accolades in their absence?

I'll give you a few seconds to come up with the answer. Let's play the "Jeopardy" theme song while you tax your brains to come up with the answer ...

Dern-da-doo ... dern-dern-dern-da-doo ... dern-dern-dern-dern-da-doo-di-da-da ... dern-dern-dern-dern-dern-dern-dern-dern ... doo-di-da-da ...doo-doo-doo.

OK ... let's see what you've come up with.

Somerfrost says ... "Al Gore." Ummm ... no ... sorry ... Al Gore really wasn't elected president ... he was the loser ... that's not correct.

Downthestretch says ... "Kofi Annan." Gee ... sorry ... Kofi is just a corrupt, bumbling, tyrant-loving bureaucrat who'd actually be happy to see us murdered.

Pgardn says ... "Barney Frank." Nope ... also not correct ... Mr. Frank is an outstanding congressman and a very attractive man ... especially when he drools out of the right side of his mouth ... but no that's not correct either.

The correct answer is ... "George W. Bush" ... yes, George W. Bush has been the president of the United States for the past five years ... and has the overall responsibility for securing the safety and freedom of American citizens ... and has fulfilled that responsibility with great success ... George W. Bush is the correct answer.

Funny that you'd link me to Algore...I always agreed with Rush's view on that intellectual cripple. Actually, it's the brave, hard-working men and women of our much-berated intelligence community who deserve the credit! They had an almost impossible task of infiltrating terrorist cells throughout the world yet, as you say, here we are, years later, without another major event on US soil...a tribute to our best and brightest...but not to Bush, Clinton or any of the other figureheads of the rich and powerful who inhabit the White House.
