AIA--I could be wrong, but I think she meant that we didn't have large scale attacks on American soil. I know that the USS Cole was bombed, US embassies in several places, but no pattern--no rhyme or reason. And certainly no pattern of attacks on US soil. I think the largest attack on US soil, just prior to 9/11 would have been the OK City bombing--and that was perpetrated by a US citizen against the very country he proclaimed as his own.

Again, I think she's saying there was no pattern on US soil.
