The implication is clear: The United States is flying blind in the Middle East. An easy charge to make but a hard one to justify. Even a successful intelligence operation will miss some attacks. (As the Israelis do, though their success rate has risen now that the West Bank is no longer a safe area for the terrorists) It's very hard to figure out what would have happened without the intelligence operation. Certainly we in the public don't have enough information to tell. It is interesting that a French target was picked, whether they meant to or not. One would have thought that they would have tried to avoid European targets. Maybe they're just not very bright about Western politics.
