During an appearance at a Long Island bookstore last month, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was asked by a member of the audience why the United States has not been hit again since 9/11.[...]
"This is ... one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration," Gingrich continued. "The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger. And therefore, the better they've done at making sure there isn't an attack, the easier it is to say, 'Well, there never was going to be an attack anyway.' And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us."
Yes, perhaps they thought 9/11’s spectacular failure to stop an attack would have been enough, when coupled with their constant fear-mongering supported by the corporate media. And then it would have been hard to make the claim that they were the only ones capable of keeping us from another attack, wouldn’t it?
But thanks to Newt for reminding us how the top GOP minds work.
