August 2011 interview with George Bush where he recalled that after the attacks, he wondered how did they not see it coming.

"At some point in time in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, I thought about why didn’t we know this?

I knew we needed to figure out what went wrong to prevent other attacks but I didn’t want start the finger pointing and say to our intelligence communities, You fouled up. You should have caught this. Why didn’t you know?"
