How is it then that Osama could count on NORAD and our air defenses standing down on 9/11?


He couldn't.
Osama tried one or two operations every year since the bombing of the embassies in Africa. He was always stopped by the Clinton administration. It's not a question of Osama being smart with 9/11, it's more that Cheney wanted something to happen so he could peg it as the next Pearl Harbor and rally the country. Cheney could count on the American military following directions from the executive, and he could count on Bush Jr. for being clueless and more than willing to let Cheney send out all the directives and orders and hard stuff.
