Losing the war on terror

Consider this post an addendum to the one below. According to Rand (no hotbed of liberalism), we are losing the war on terror:
The sum of "international" and "domestic" terrorist attacks in 2005 was 3991, up 51% from the previous year’s figure of 2639. The number of deaths that resulted from those attacks was 6872, which is 36% higher than the 5066 that occurred in 2004...

In contrast, in the last year of the Clinton presidency (2000), there were 1138 attacks and 776 deaths. Since then, after five years of Bush's macho 84 billion-dollar-a-year War on Terror®, attacks have increased by 250% and deaths by a whopping 550%.
Let's force the Republicans to run on that record.
