Reply #21: Gore would have listened to the CIA and his national security advisors.

Bush had plenty of warning that 9/11 was going to take place. He had plenty of warning that it would involve highjacking planes and flying them into buildings, and it didn't take rocket science to guess which buildings, since the World Trade Center had been attacked before.

Gore would have responded to the Cole attack - as Clinton's people begged him to do - and there is a very very good chance that the 9/11 attack would have been thwarted, as Clinton thwarted the planned attack in Seattle on New Year's Eve 1999/2000.
