What should have been done in response to the briefing that Bin Laden planned to attack the US?

40. It may very well be that Bush could have done nothing to stop this well conceived bin Laden plan BUT

there still is that nagging question or questions about those guys taking flying lessons learning to take off but ignoring landing. A lot of the prevention possibilities center around those air fields where the hijackers were taking flying lessons. Paying cash, how and where the lessons were taking place had to raise some suspicions from those involved.

But the one big factor that few in the US want to talk about was the very reason for the attack in the first place. bin Laden himself told us and the rest of the world what he wanted...US soldiers out of what he and other Muslims believed to be their holy lands...period! But, sucking up once again to the Saudis, we totally disregarded the boiling tension beneath the surface of the Suadi regime. After Desert Storm we left a mass of soldiers within the fiefdom of the Saudis. We were warned several times to get our military off their holy lands...well we all know the rest. bin Laden had written about this over and over again. We could have just simply re-deployed outside those sites to a nearby location.
