yesterday minus five years
How bad is American intelligence? If you think of it, it was a very well organized, very effective attack. Not just a guy sitting in his garage and telling his friend: "I am going to blow myself up tomorrow." and then actually doing it. No, a lot of logistics involved. 9/11 was an unpaired strategic victory by Bin Laden over the United States of America. In German you would say: "Die USA wurden vorgefuehrt." And it goes on: Where is the guy? His trace is lost somewhere in Afghanistan. Americas new wars don't change the fact that they are so powerless against those terror networks.
What is a secret services good for that cannot prevent an attack like 9/11? Nothing (Except for inventing weapons of mass destruction somewhere in the Iraqi desert and torturing people somewhere in hidden places all over the world)
All this is just another hint at Americas helplessness.
