Which the FBI and CIA probably foolishly believed either that they had it under control or that it was not a credible threat. I can't say all the circumstances surrounding it, but I will remind you of all the other "threats'" that have been cited since 9/11, some credible, some not, but many disregarded by much of the intelligence community. We didn't have the system in place at the time that we needed to make such determinations.
It was a hypothetical possibility, that yes, it was understood that eventually Saddam had to be driven from power if the issue of international terrorism was ever to be addressed. If you're trying to claim this as support for 9/11 being an "inside job" you need a MAJOR crash course in corelation vs. causation
Israeli intelligence, Mossad, tried twice to warn the CIA and FBI that of a plan to run airplanes into building near the beginning of Sep 2001. They were refused an audience. It was all reported in Israeli news papers.
A US State Department alert was sent out Friday before the attacks, and was even reported on NPR in the USA.
Osama bin Laden was captured by Sudan and the Sudanese government requested he be extradited to the USA to face charges for attacks against the USA but Clinton refused to extradite him. Clinton had him and purposely let him go.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and the rest of them had published their intention to invade Iraq in 2000, a year BEFORE 9/11 attack. And they said the only way the people of the USA would support it would be for another Pearl Harbor type of event.

And I never defended this. I always have said that Bush and Clinton are both to blame for 9/11 happening.

The threat that we face from radical Islam can in many ways trace back to the Khomeni revolution in Iran while Carter was president.
