If you go back to the bombing of Philippine Airlines Flight 434 in 1994 and the 1996 raids in Manilla of Ramzi Yousef's apartment where Police found a computer with black and white plans to use planes as weapons.

This information was largely ignored by the US.

So the fact that they chose not to ignore intelligence,whether it existed or not is not really a suprise and hardly bull. They got caught with there pants down once and saw the consequences, why would they do it again? They were made to look stupid once, better safe then sorry?
Yeah, I just come to a very different conclusion with the facts. Bush ignored the CIA before 9/11 and before the Iraq invasion, he also ignored the UN and his own operatives and instead believed this deranged ex cabbie from Iraq, that the Germans had shown to be a phony, that Saddam had WMD. If you can swallow that it was just incompetence on George's part when some of his closest advisers are now saying he lied from the start there is no sense arguing anymore as these facts and conclusions have been discussed over and over again here and in the media and you still don't get it.
