Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?

...and a lunatic magnet perhaps....

How can it be that after this unimaginable tragedy and Osama's constant threats of another, we have gone over three years without a single terrorist attack on American soil?"

It's called patience.
Bush has made everyone feel warm and fuzzy over the fact that he personally, and his administration collevtively, have kept America safe, when in fact, it is highly possible al Qaeda was going to lie dormant for quite some time before issuing the sequel to 9/11.

Or, maybe the Martians that abducted all the al Qaeda operatives in the US aren't finished with the probes.

I generally don't agree with what you post McG, but the intellectualism with which you normally reply is slowly deteriorating.
Can you provide a link regarding said aliens?

the doctrine of mutual destruction seems to work well.

I am somewhat surprised GW has not publicly stated that tactic.

As soon as you post a link regarding "al Qaeda was going to lie dormant for quite some time before issuing the sequel to 9/11."

My point is that your hypothesis has no more facts behind it than the supercilious suggestion I made. Yet you made your suggestion as though you were serious...

Oh, I don't know. If you destroy the Vatican, does Catholicism cease to exist?

AQ has a history of waiting several years between major attacks. Look at the 1st WTC, US Cole, 9/11, Madrid attacks. All spaced out. It's been three years since the last one, that's not outside the pre-existing timeline.

Also, let's think logically: attacks are meant to succeed. AQ is up against a giant opponent with tons of resources. They have to be careful. Better to take things slow than to rush and ruin plans.
