Are you having to change the wording of your 'selected' sentence to make your point Ron? Why not just provide, as I have done, the entire passage and let people make their own minds up.

CarolC's question was answered in the post of 02 Jan 06 - 04:24 AM. The statement made by the President in the 2003 State of the Union Address clearly indicated that after having suffered a partialy successful, anonymous, a-symetric attack on the 11th September, 2001 that marked:

"..... a watershed after which attitudes are perceived as having to change to meet the requirements of the threat to the nation as evaluated and assessed by the House Security Committee.

What it says is perfectly in accord with the US Government's stated approach to international terrorist threat as outlined in the State of the Union Address of 2002."

No propaganda campaign Ron, no matter how much you insist on it, that particular dog won't hunt, because what you contend flies in the face of reason, logic and fact.
