For sure. We know the CIA/FBI both had multiple warnings of terrorist attacks inside the US. We can be absolutely sure Cheney was aware. Bush probably too. Definitely Bush's father would be reading and getting reports from his CIA pals. The question is basically how much sitting on their hands hoping it would be a "bad one" worthy of exploitation to do endless wars vs incompetence on US' part vs competence on the part of bin Laden, et al.

I'm 100% not joking or memeing when I say I would not be surprised in the least if we found out one day that Bush Sr and W worked with Cheney and bin Laden family (old Bush family acquaintances/friends. Not necessarily with Osama, but the family), Saudi Arabia for sure, maybe Israel, this massive collaborative effort to "oops! They blew up some towers! Gotta do war now!"

The "coincidences" and ties between the bin Ladens/Bushes is too deep and too on the nose to ignore. The second richest family in Saudi Arabia, dealing directly with a former CIA director, 2x VP, 1x POTUS and his son a governor and then fresh president at the time. And their son just happens to be the one who orchestrated a large attack that just happened to go basically fully through as planned, recorded, used as perfect propaganda to do everything Cheney and co had been dreaming of since like the 1970s post-Nixon.

Come on, man!
