I have to take issue with the "warning" of 9/11. There is a whole thread here on SI with paranoid posters claiming this.

The problem with the "intelligence" received is so massive. There are warnings every day of stuff like 9/11. Imagine yourself in a job like that, particularly if you have the "government employee" mentality.

No doubt there were warnings. I'm sure there were warnings today of someone hijacking a plane. Problem is how do you know which warning out of thousands is the one upon which to follow? Where do you put the resources?

I agree with you if your point is that government needs to be streamlined and become efficient in all areas. I agree with you that the "intelligence" operations need to be better monitored and be made efficient.

However, it defies common sense and moderation for anyone to think that the Bush administration did 9/11 or did not stop if if they had been able to do so.

I'm not saying you posted that Bush was to blame, so forgive me if I am mischaracterizing some of your thoughts in posting what you did.
