You can get a better prediction of the 9/11 attack looking at tea leaves.

I've always equated the scenario like this: "I'm going to hide a marble in a named county in the United States, for a period of one month. Your job is to find the marble." Can you even imagine how difficult that would be, no matter how many resources you had?

Here we have an unspecified attack, at an unspecified time, against the expanse of "U.S. interests" worldwide, exponentially more difficult than my marble scenario.

How anyone could expect anything to be done directly to prevent it, is beyond me.

Absolutely agree. However, during bin Veniste's questioning of Condi, I predicted the headlines at compost/slimes would be "Bush warned of 9/11 plot beforehand--Does nothing". Well, it turns out I was wrong. The headlines were not the next day, but 2 days later.

These people are creating the impression among the inattentive masses that Bush knew beforehand. They know kerry is toast unless the voters vote against Bush on terror and foreign policy--his strongest issues. Understand that fact, and you will understand everything that happens (or actually is reported to have happened) between now and November.

This will be the dirtiest campaign in history.
