1988
February: Marine Corps Lt. Colonel Higgens, Chief of the U.N. Truce Force, was kidnapped and murdered by Hezbollah.
December: Pan Am flight 103 from London to New York was blown up over Scotland, killing 270 people, including 35 from Syracuse University and a number of American military personnel.
1991
November: American University in Beirut bombed.
1993
January: A Pakistani terrorist opened fire outside CIA headquarters, killing two agents and wounding three.
February: World Trade Center bombed, killing six and injuring more than 1,000.
1995
January: Operation Bojinka, Osama bin Laden's plan to blow up 12 airliners over the Pacific Ocean, discovered.
November: Five Americans killed in attack on a U.S. Army office in Saudi Arabia.
1996
June: Truck bomb at Khobar Towers kills 19 American servicemen and injures 240.
June: Terrorist opens fire at top of Empire State Building, killing one.
1997
February: Palestinian opens fire at top of Empire State Building, killing one and wounding more than a dozen.
November: Terrorists murder four American oil company employees in Pakistan.
1998
January: U.S. Embassy in Peru bombed.
August: Simultaneous bomb attacks on U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed more than 300 people and injured over 5,000.
1999
October: Egypt Air flight 990 crashed off the coast of Massachusetts, killing 100 Americans among the more than 200 on board; the pilot yelled "Allahu Akbar!" as he steered the airplane into the ocean. [UPDATE: Note correction below.]
2000
October: A suicide boat exploded next to the U.S.S. Cole, killing 17 American sailors and injuring 39.
2001
September: Terrorists with four hijacked airplanes kill around 3,000 Americans in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
December: Richard Reid, the "shoe bomber," tries to blow up a transatlantic flight, but is stopped by passengers.
The September 11 attack was a propaganda triumph for al Qaeda, celebrated by a dismaying number of Muslims around the world. Everyone expected that it would draw more Muslims to bin Laden's cause and that more such attacks would follow. In fact, though, what happened was quite different: the pace of successful jihadist attacks against the United States slowed, decelerated further after the onset of the Iraq war, and has now dwindled to essentially zero. Here is the record:
2002
October: Diplomat Laurence Foley murdered in Jordan, in an operation planned, directed and financed by Zarqawi in Iraq, perhaps with the complicity of Saddam's government.
2003
May: Suicide bombers killed 10 Americans, and killed and wounded many others, at housing compounds for westerners in Saudi Arabia.
October: More bombings of United States housing compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killed 26 and injured 160.

bird brain...bush was inaugurated in january of 2001....they`ve been at war with us since the iranians took over our embassy in iran in the late 70`s...
bush was in office for a whole 8 months when 9/11 happened...it was planned while clinton was in office...matter of fact there were plans by al qaeda and saddam to assassinate clinton....
since 2004,we`ve had NO attacks....
they`re at war with us because they want to establish an islamic caliphate and make foreign policy for legit middle eastern govts that choose to do business with the west...`
stop blaming your own country and do some research...

Troll, huh?
At anytime that you want to have a one on one debate about anything, you just lemme know.
don`t you think a little history lesson would broaden spartan`s horizons?....
he seems like a decent kid...
Here's my take I was in nyc on 9-11 in midtown manhattan & my brother was downtown very near the trade center.
I prayed to god that my brother got out of there unharmed, but so many innocent people that didn't deserve any of this bullshit paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I've been to many memorials but most people that died in the twin towers were from staten island a borough of new york. The memorial is facing nyc with the statue of liberty straight ahead.
The people pay a price because our government likes to play games.
Bottom line we shouldn't be arguing or fighting with eachother that's what those scumbags in DC want.
I'm am only 1 man with raging spartan blood now if I had 299 crazy brothers with me more things could be different, fuk
You would only need 298 cause I would be right behind you.
TRUST ME. I love a good fight!!! EH!!!
Don't listen to these redneck, whitetrash scumbags.
They'll never fight for your country. They only want credit for acting like you. They'll never do anything to prtect your thoughts.
No, you call anybody that doesn't necessarily agree with you on a subject a 'moonbat.'
Ignorant.
good point...you can`t wake a man who`s pretending to be asleep...
i`m out...apologize if i ruffled any feathers...
Last edited:
btw...dunclock...kosar knows "moonbat isn`t an insult...it`s a "term of endearment" i use when addressing all the liberals in the political forum....and nobody gets offended...
it wasn`t personal or an insult...he knows this...he`s just trying to stir the pot..
if it was insulting i apologize...
