I wouldn't consider the Pentagon and the WTC to be "illogical" targets. I'm sure the objective for most terrorist attacks is "Kill and maim as many people as is possible". In either case, they, sadly, fulfilled their mission.
I don't think this is necessarily a partisan thing. I don't blame either party. My only qualm is that they seem to be focusing less on how to prevent an attack of this nature and more on what they'll do afterwards. Hardly a good way to promote domestic security and well-being.

It is not impossible that something like the conventions could become targets, however, in the past terrorist groups have not chosen to attack "logical" targets where security is high. Rather, they try to take their victims totally by surprize. The shock value is nearly as important as phisical damage done.
