The 9-11 No One Talks About

 Around 28 years ago....26th of February 1993....a couple of Muslim guys put a 1,336 pound urea-nitrate-hydrogen gas bomb device into the basement of the World Trade Center.

Players?  Ramzi Yousef and Eyad Ismoil.

Intent?  The North Tower would have crashed into the South Tower.

Result?  It basically failed.  Bomb engineering wise, the building was built to handle this.    In the end....six people died and around a thousand wounded.

This was the original 9-11, and the Clinton Administration failed to grasp this.

We talk a great deal about 9-11, but no one ever goes back to the 1993 episode and considers what we should have done at that point.

What could we do?
a)
We could start by firing every Central Intelligence Agent for creating enemies where none existed.
.
b)
We could continue firing every Federal Bureau Of Investigation bureaucrat for furnishing sophisticated plots and equipment to inbred idjits.
