Sure.   Now go and catch up on your medication.

Un huh.   And yet the man responsible for this attack is well know and has
been well known for his financing anti-American terror for over 10 years.
Yet he is still around?  Frankly, that doesn't say much for ANY of these
alphabet agencies.

The ones with "vast" resources are either associated with hostile
governments or with rich individuals with tacit support of ambivalent
governments (like Saudi Arabia).

The 911 attacks took a LOT of support and handholding.

You seem to be talking out of both sides of your mouth.   If the CIA et. al.
were doing a good job then they already had the needed resources.

It's not a cheap shot.   they were our shield and they failed.   If they
didn't have the resources they needed at the minimum their high executives
should have taken the opportunity to blow the whistle when it came time for
any of them to retire.   It they did, I didn't hear it.
