Yup. That's why they didn't see it coming. That and their inability to share information - as evidenced in the stuff you brought to this thread.

I love how truthers accuse debunkers of derailing threads or posting OT. And yet here you are, merrily doing both and adding nothing to the debate.
Another slow handclap is warranted, I feel.

Yep, that's right silly Americans, keep yourselves as dumb as a lug nut and everything will be all right.

You ARE introducing all these sinister secret plots to take over the world entirely becuase they're happening here, whether you have the courage to acknowledge it or not.

Pentagon Report Reveals Multiple
Blasts in Oklahoma City Bombing
According to the March 20, 1996 issue of Strategic Investment newsletter, a classified Pentagon study confirms that the Oklahoma bombing was caused by more than one bomb. A classified report prepared by two independent Pentagon experts has concluded that the destruction of the federal building in Oklahoma City in April 1995 was caused by five separate bombs. The two experts reached the same conclusion for the same technical reasons. Sources close to the Pentagon study are reported to have said that Timothy McVeigh did play a role in the bombing but peripherally, as a "useful idiot."
We reported in Freedom Network News at the time that seismograph readouts at the University of Oklahoma indicated more than one blast impulse. Independent ordnance experts, including a Navy Commander, unanimously agreed that a car-bomb with low intensity fertilizer explosives could not have inflicted such extensive damage to the building and that it was highly likely that high-intensity explosives had been wired directly to the columns. Our suspicion then as now is that it was an "inside job." But by whom is the mystery. Strategic Investment reports that the multiple bombings had a Middle Eastern "signature." Others find the whole business to be extremely fishy because of the fact that no ATF or FBI agents were in their offices at the time of the blast [about 9:05 a.m.] — and that evidence pertaining to both Waco and Mena had been stored there.
— Strategic Investment, 1217 St. Paul St., Baltimore, MD 21202-4799.America's Reichstag Fire
On 1997-06-13 Timothy McVeigh was sentenced to death for the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City (dead men tell no tales). The "useful idiot" has indeed turned out to be useful, effectively deflecting attention from the real perpetrators of this crime.
The Oklahoma City bombing was America's equivalent of the 1933 Reichstag Fire.
A fire destroyed the Reichstag Building on February 27, 1933. Hitler blamed the fire on the Communists. The fire symbolically destroyed the only remaining institution capable of placing reins on Hitler's grab for dictatorial power. Although the case is still somewhat disputed, the fire was very likely instigated by the Nazis and blamed on a Dutch Communist who had committed arson, Marinus van der Lubbe. There was no sign whatsoever of a revolution, but van der Lubbe gave the Nazis the excuse they needed and the pretext for new emergency measures [the Ermächtigungsgesetz, enacted on 1933-03-24]. — The First Steps Leading to the "Final Solution" [link expired]
Timothy McVeigh is America's version of Marinus van der Lubbe (who was tried by the Nazis, found guilty and executed). On 1995-04-23, only four days after the bombing, with public outrage still at its height, President Clinton signed into law the so-called Counter-Terrorism Bill.
Future historians may write:
Several bombs destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. President Clinton blamed the bombing on domestic right-wing terrorists. The bombing destroyed the records of the 1993 massacre of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, and also records relating to Mena. Although the case is still somewhat disputed, the bombing was very likely instigated by a secret criminal organization parasitic upon the U.S. government and blamed on a member of a right-wing militia, Timothy McVeigh, who was known to be sympathetic to violent resistance to the federal government. There was no sign whatsoever of a revolution, but McVeigh gave the U.S. government the excuse it needed and the pretext for new emergency measures, the Counter-Terrorism Bill.
Again from The First Steps Leading to the "Final Solution:
Hitler induced a confused and frightened Hindenburg to sign a decree euphemistically called, 'For the Protection of the People and State,' suspending all of the basic rights of citizens and imposing the death sentence for arson, sabotage, resistance to the decree, and disturbances to public order. Arrests could be made on suspicion, and people could be sentenced to prison without trial or the right of counsel. The suspension was never lifted throughout the entire period of Nazi rule, and the decree of February 28th destroyed fundamental guarantees under the Weimar democracy.

I completely agree. And here we are in a thread about a document that for some reason you're unwilling to discuss, and instead you're changing the subject.
So who is obfuscating?

I completely agree with it.
I have a very good understanding of the intelligence services from reading lots of books written by insiders who blew the whistle. The only time there is failure to communicate is when the puppet masters at the top want there to be a communication failure. But hey, it's no use trying to convince you of that. You don't believe in organized crime.
I find that unsurprising. Especially since it has been comprehensively disproven by the self-same document that the OP introduced to back his bogus claim.
CTC and FBI interviewees consider the relationship between the two organizations to be vastle improved. The growth in joint activities and cross assignments suggests that the relashionship is now more institutionalized and less personality dependent.

It has been disproved only in your mind because in reality this paper disproves your bogus claim that not sharing information was the official policy, and that they shouldn't be held accountable for failing to share information about the hijackers because they were simply following the rules.
But we can see in this paper that information wasn't shared for some other reason, by some individuals and NOT because of the policy.

LOL!! You really believe McVeigh's manure bomb did all that damage to the Murrah Bldg?
It was wired for CD just like the Pentagon and the three towers on 911.
He was nothing more than a useful idiot:

Nice try. But I've never claimed that "not sharing information was the official policy". Nobody has, and this is a feeble attempt to create a strawman and save some face.

It might NOT be a case of incompetence either. IF... policy at the time is to not share all info as directed by the "wall", and those that could have taken action if that "wall" wasn't there, but didn't, then who acted in a manner that should result in a demotion/firing/head rolling? Again, Gorelick was a nobody, and she didn't make any policy. Clinton did. And if you believe that this "wall" resulted in 9/11, then the blame lands squarely on Clinton's shoulders... BUT..... Clinton was pres and made policy, so there is no one to demote, etc. If anything, your excellent research might lead you to believe that all the FAA, NEADS, etc people acted in an outstanding manner. The same might also be said of the CIA and FBI guys. They have stated that something should be done, but procedure was followed. What if there is no shoe dragging, etc on their part either? Then IMHO it comes down to policy. And Clinton.
Suffice to say that you started out claiming that all information was being shared, and quoted a document that actually proved you wrong. Your efforts to try to pretend this isn't the case are laughable.

Maybe you personally never claimed that but there's a guy claiming this very thing a few pages back.
I started out by saying that you cannot use "the wall" as an excuse for not not holding anybody accountable. I never said that information was shared, in fact I said that if that was the case 9/11 wouldn't happen. But the those who failed to share information can no longer hide behind the "policy" and should be held accountable for their "incompetence or neglect or stupidity" what ever you want to call it.
