Actually, there was one warning--the first Trade Center bombing. And there was some published talk that the Arabs would try again. They were clearly obsessed by the Twin Towers as a symbol of what they hated about America.

I don't know if that was the basis for his planning. He still deserves major credit for taking action, doing his job, and risking unpopularity on what must have seemed a long shot.

Precisely!

Four sons to raise here. My constant theme is,

'Whatever you choose to do in life,
1: Be good at it
2: No, be the best there is at it
3: Be brave enough to do it right

Cheers,
Lloyd

Yes, he was there for the first Center bombing, if memory serves and he told all he could that the next time they would succeed probably by plane. He also predicted the seemingly random but actually orchestrated terrorism we see now. Further, he felt we could not do the nation building, which is kinda Iraq, the west is favorable to, but, as I recall and hope I interpret correctly felt we had to mind our own affairs. I am not sure I agree with him on this. V's wife.
