It's obvious that killing the leader of an organization thousands of miles from a plot already set in motion won't stop it from taking place.


The issue is that Bush was warned about terrorist plots and DID NOT RESPOND. Clinton recieved similar warnings in the 1990s and put everyone at high alert meeting with his security staff every day. A CAR WAS STOPPED WITH EXPLOSIVES AT THE CANADA BORDER. These explosives were to be used to carry out an attack by Al-Queda on LAX .

The CIA (or FBI I forget exactly) knew about two of the people who took part in the 9/11 terror attacks. If they had been warned about the increase in chatter that had only been seen back in the Clinton administration when they found explosives in the car, then they might have acted on that information. THEREFORE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD HAVE PREVENTED 9/11.

I rest my case.

(This all according to interview with former Clinton security staffer on 60 Minutes and inependent investigative work by 60 minutes crew.)
