So, having looked in the previous post at the vast intelligence community we all pay for, we are to suppose that two dozen or so Al-Qaeda members, many of them living in the US for years, (while the leadership remained in tents and stone buildings in Afghanistan?) completely defeated this vast US 'intelligence community' on September 11, 2001 and in the years prior?
If so, that wasn't a conspiracy, it was an Al-Qaeda military triumph that will go down in the annals of world history for its audacity and brilliance. And for the US, it was an intelligence (and military) defeat that should be perhaps the greatest embarrassment in our history.
So where was the intelligence embarrassment? Where was the contrition and restructuring and reform? Instead, all we got was this faux outrage and pledge to retaliate.
This is all a very unlikely scenario. I'm skeptical, as you know. Very skeptical.
