Apparently he cut the defense enough. We got 9-ll.

Did 9/11 happen because we didn’t spend enough? Or did it happen because resources were poorly allocated (i.e. Humint, techint)?

Maybe that is what cut and run is talking about when he keeps preaching that it was our policies that caused 9/11. I thought he was saying that we just did not appease his terrorist buddies enough.

Are you kidding me? 9-11 did not happen due to a lack of military resources. We had 10 times the military resources we would have ever needed to stop those attacks. Instead we had such a bloated government that it was impossible for one part to talk to another. Even with a military that could have easily taken out the airliners in plenty of time, the information was never passed. If the government was smaller then coordination would have been easier before and during the attacks. The defense budget (which was more than 1/3rd of the defense budget of the entire world at the time) was more than enough to have combated the attacks.

Cutting the defense budget had nothing to do with it nor did it bring about 9/11 ™ (trademark belongs to the campaign of St. Rudy)
