(10,283 posts)...that Bin Laden was determined to strike the United States using planes - and any day now.
if they had taken ANY extraordinary precautions wrt stopping the attack or even warning the public, no matter how "incompetent" those actions or warnings were, then you could of course chalk it up to incompetence, as you are so incompetently doing.
But they didn't, so they definitely "let" it happen. Coupled with their desire to go to war in the Middle East - it's a good bet they didn't just "let" it happen out of incompetence, since they very competently managed the crisis to their own nefarious ends thereafter.
Are they incompetent war-fighters? Absolutely. Extremely wealthy, horribly-incompetent war-fighters. And much more wealthy after 9/11.
