This was the praise given to George Bush in one of the answers in the politics section. I've heard this a lot. Doesnt it remind you of the episode in simpsons where they decide to have a "bear patrol" after one bear attack, then the following dialogue occurs:
Homer (looks around): Not a bear in sight! the bear patrol must be working perfectly!
Lisa (picks up a rock): Dad by your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock! (then offers money to lisa).

If this is a serious question, I found two instances of "planes crashing into buildings" since Sept. 11, 2001 out of a total of 67 accidents worldwide involving commercial aircrafts.
November 12 2001: American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300, crashes into Queens a neighborhood of New York City, New York just after take off, after the plane's vertical tail fin snapped. All 251 passengers and nine crew members on board were killed as well as five people on the ground.
May 4 2002: EAS Airlines Flight 4226, a BAC 1-11 crashes into a number of buildings in Kano, Nigeria after taking off. Of the 77 people on board the aircraft, 74 were killed along with 75 on the ground.

I remember that episode - damn, the Simpsons is good!
Anyway, don't you remember that schoolkid in Florida who crashed a light airplane into a building? This happened about a week or so after 9/11.
Bush supporters will say anything. Even if there HAD been another 9/11 type tragedy, they would have somehow worked out how to pin the blame on Clinton, or John Kerry - but not Georgie boy, no way!

I do not take much credence in the fact that there hasn't been any attacks since then....after all, there has been many foiled. However, if they had succeeded in all there efforts, we would have been hit about 8 times since then....that is for direct hits on America....and many more stopped before anything happened around the world..... Will we get hit again? Absolutely....we have to be right 100 out of 100 times, they have to get it right once.....the odds are not with us....but if that rock {?} will help, I say buy it.....or the four leaf clover.....the rabbits foot....whatever, as long as other things are being done that is more significant is working also

Wow that is something to be proud of for good ole W. Don't get me started..oh wait ya kinda already did. Bravo to George for not getting anymore buildings blown up, but look at all the other admirable things he has done for our country like get us into meaningless wars where mothers lose their sons on a daily basis in droves. For what? If those people want to kill themselves they should be able to do so...and whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden. How coincidential is it that Bush oil and Bin Laden oil are conveniently tied in together. Look at gas prices...you really think there is nothing he can do to get them down to something a little bit more reasonable? Somehow I doubt it. What is wrong with this country when George Bush can get away with his constant crap...while other men practically get impeached for having a little fun in the oval office?

No planes crashed into buildings before 9/11 either.

I agree. Bears are a much bigger threat. And the elephant population has tripled in the last 5 years. Because I said so.

It will not happen until bush gang needs a reason, the earlier one was preplaned by bush gang, they just need a reason to invade iraq for oil.
