Outgoing US President George W Bush has warned his successor that a terrorist attack is still the "most urgent threat" to the US.
Is this guy retarded or does he just completely know nothing about economy.. Silly question really considering his economic track record.

Silly question ....but I suppose terrorist attacks do not effect the economy....natch?...besides how just did Bush ruin the economy?
under the bust regime the national debt nearly doubled from some 5.7 trillion to just over 10 trillion, on which the US taxpayer pays interest. This is good evidence of a ruined economy i think.

Funny, Clinton heeded the same warning when Dubya took office. He even dropped "al-Qaeda."

If it's your position that he ruined the economy, then it is up to you to show how he did so.Ehhm, exactly how did he NOT ruin the economy?

Close to 300 billion every year in interest rates... INSANE.. But he has ruined the economy in other ways as well. Some even speculate that he is to blame for the economic crisis..

Think the economy is bad?Look at the history. When the past two Presidents took office, there was an attack on US soil by Al Qaeda within a few months. I would guess that an an attempt is made within a few months of Obama taking office.
That is a primary concern, IMO.
If Obama does not heed the warning, we will surely see another devastating catastrophe.

Will it get better or worse if a nuclear device goes off in NYC?
A poor economy is not the end of times. Anyone that knows anything about economies know that they go in cycles. There have been 12 recessions since the depression, and there will continute to be recessions for ever and ever.Exactly. Or imagine a bioweapons attack that shuts down NY.
Give us a quantified reason for that debt (sites and sources) and tell us why Obama will not explode that figure with excess Govt. spending?

Uh, guy...did you read that article? Had you read the article you wuld have noticed that the purpose of the article is to dispel the argument that Bush caused the economic crisis.
So what were you thinking? That citing an article that cites some people carping that Bush caused the problem reflects serious, reasonable, and sober analysis concluding that Bush, indeed, caused the problem?
Try again.
Dont you see the catastrophe of letting the economy(and other things) fail in order to focus on terrorism?
I am close to declare the people behind 911 as the winners, the terrorists have won, they have submitted the US into constant fear and decline of other activities to focus more on terrorism..
What else have the Bush admin focus on than terrorism and Iraq? REALLY? Please list things from the most important to the least important in a top 10 list of other things they have focused on than terrorism and terrorism related stuff.. Dont even mention the economy and other failed "focused" if you mean they were focused on..
Obama can hopefully try to address both issues. Just because the economy is in trouble doesn't mean that the warning should be ignored. It is possible to have a strong focus on both without sacrificing one for the other.
False dichotomy. Its not an either-or.Dont you see the catastrophe of letting the economy(and other things) fail in order to focus on terrorism?
Ths is completely unsupportable.I am definetely sure that part of the economic failure comes from the over-focus on terrorism and the detriment of for example economic policies, and other policies as well.
Yes.. But do you not think its more important that life goes on like normal and that people start to live again, and the country start to live and grow again, rather than just sit and fear terrorism and use sooooo much energy and thought on that?
