Clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate bin Laden since 1997 has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the US. Bin Laden implied in U.S. television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and "bring the fighting to America."
After U.S. missile strikes on his base in Afghanistan in 1998, bin Laden told followers he wanted to retaliate in Washington, according to a -- -- service.
Al Qaeda members -- including some who are U.S. citizens -- have resided in or traveled to the U.S. for years, and the group apparently maintains a support structure that could aid attacks.
A clandestine source said in 1998 that a bin Laden cell in New York was recruiting Muslim-American youth for attacks.
from a ---- service in 1998 saying that Bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft to gain the release of "Blind Sheikh" Omar Abdel Rahman and other U.S.-held extremists.
36 days before 9-11-01, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, and Karl Rove, were informed of this Presidential briefing.
It's fairly reminiscent of the statements to Eisenhower in January 1941. This statement said that a Peruvian source stated that japan was planning an attack on pearl harbor. 11 months before it happened...
America HAS allowed itself to be attacked before to intervene in a truly just war.
7 years later, I have one question. Was THIS attack allowed to happen for Bush Co. to justify a war on 'evil muslim terrorists'?
Que Bono. Who Benefits? Who makes a profit? Halliburton, Blackwater Worldwide, And lets not forget all of the Oil / Natural Gas pipeline deals that have suddenly fallen into place after the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. While it seems that these could all be coincidental, and we will have to wait at least 50 years for the archives on the bush administration to be released, One can assume, someone in some dark dank government office somewhere Knew we were about to be hit. Either no one heeded their warning; or no one believed it was possible. If it was the first, it is always possible that someone in the White House had a large profit coming to them if we could somehow go to war in the middle-east.
Crazy? Maybe. But it's also possible; and that's a bit spooky.

I'm not comfortable accepting an assertion that intelligence was ignored with the ultimate end goal of facilitating a war to line greedy pockets - BUT after the bullshit I've witnessed from this administration over the years, I'm not willing to rule anything out, either.
That said, I still keep thinking that the lack of attention to the threat pre-9/11 is just a product of sheer ineptitude and stupidity. But who knows?
I think anybody who has a Yale diploma had to get some kind of an education. Even those who get in on mommy and daddies names...
Hell I know I thought my C's were acceptable in High School(Though I'm not running for president... yet)
I sometimes think the idiot act is just that.
But it's about as probable as Intergalatic visitors at this point. No evidence, No reason to really believe.
But yeah, it could also be the fault of a whole bunch of stupid up in the White House...
