I agree partly with your observation of my post.

My intent was to state that the man that Mr. Harsey was referring to was not the only one to think of this scenario playing out. That man was in a position to be listened to and was ignored and heckled for his thoughts.

We all know that Tom Clancy tends to be overly dramatic and add fluff to his stories, but his stories have some sliver of truth to them. Mr. Clancy published this book in 1994. 1 year after the first WTC attempt and 7 before the big one.

Now with looking at the timeline you posted, do you think that OBL/UBL could've gotten an idea from this? No conspiracy theory, just an observation.

My biggest point to take away from this is that these threats have been thought of before and ignored. Clancy put it in the written word and it was taken lightly because it was a fictional portrayal. But ultimately it was ignored and people act as if this was some fluke idea that made it to fruition.

There are only few things that are impossible in this world. I think that since our blinders have been smacked off of our faces we should take that as a sign of the times and be a little less conformist like our enemy. You yourself have spoke of adaptability in countering the enemy by emulating their lifestyles and habits. How soon America forgets that.
