Well you have to admire the honesty...
May. 9th, 2007 03:46 pmDick Morris on terrorists:
MORRIS: I think that withdrawal from Iraq — it obviously gives al Qaeda a huge victory. Huge victory. On the other hand, if we stay in Iraq, it gives them the opportunity to kill more Americans, which they really like.
One of the things, though, that I think the antiwar crowd has not considered is that, if we’re putting the Americans right within their arms’ reach, they don’t have to come to Wall Street to kill Americans. They don’t have to knock down the trade center. They can do it around the corner, and convenience is a big factor when you’re a terrorist.
In the comments at World o' Crap:
“convenience is a big factor when you’re a terrorist. A CNN/Gallup poll of sworn enemies of the United States conducted inside Gitmo, the secret prisons in Eastern Europe, and various Federal and INS/ICE installations found that the following were cited as the most important factors in choice of target:
Convenience 43%
Hatred of specific target 21%
Instructions from imam 16%
Body count/shock value 14%
Likelihood of reaching
paradise/virgins 6%
