From watching the "path to 9/11" I think it seems the US government were caught in a web of there own red tape and protocol which prevented a serious attack on terrorism in the first place. I have no doubt that the it was quite within the power that 9/11 could have been prevented..
It was evident that no one in US office wanted to take responsibility for giving the go ahead for attacking “al Quaeda” networks and training camps without selfishly thinking of their own consequences. The only person who could give the go-ahead was the president himself and his own judgement was unreliable following the Monica Lewinsky ordeal. Surely, if his judgment was that undermined then why was he in office.
I think the whole ordeal just showed how that political correctness wins the day and for the Americans, it cost them 1,000s of lives.
Interesting quote from the film that the head of security said that the US government were preventing him from protecting his own country and he didn’t know who the real terrorist were.
My belief is that OBL is still alive and the intelligence agencies know exactly where he is. I’m sure they are keeping an eye on him so as to keep track of him and his activities. Better this than to have unknown replacement. As the old saying goes.. keep your best friends close but your enemies closer..
