Who could have prevented 9/11?
The notion of 9/11 being preventable seems popular in certain circles. I think we should share the identity of the ideal preventer.

Sorry, but I am going to have to laugh at you. It took you three times to get it right, and this isn't even a very good thread.

I don't think the hijackings were really preventable. That is, al Qaeda found a security hole (box cutters) and took advantage of it. Had we more Arabic translators working Intelligence, we might have been able to translate and recognize the coded warnings recived a few days beforehand. But, no, we're short on such translators (but apparantely not short enough to fire a good number of them if they're gay).
Now, whether or not the actual WTC/Pentagon attacks could have been averted is another question. Had aircraft been scrambled (and had we decoded the intercepted messages), a shoot-down order could have been given earlier and disaster possibly averted, for at least one of the towers.

I refuse to vote on this poll. The absence of a banana option forces me to take this stance.

that's the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Don't you know how the leftie guilt trip is supposed to work? We are to blame ourselves for all our problems. We are to shun christianity in movies and in the media at all costs to give the terrorists the impression we aren't christian and hope they won't hurt us.

By the way were you trying to earn brownie points with SlowwHand and MTG and other neo-Confederates with "President Robert E. Lee?"
