There is no basis for such a doubt when the persons in question are 
Bush and Rice, persons whose business it is to speak from reliable 
information on such topics.  Instead they simply lied, repeatedly, even 
when the proof that they did in fact know such things were possible had 
become public knowledge!    After watching this unfold there can be no 
rational reason for pretending that maybe they really didn't have any 
idea.

A plausible attack scenario is just forgotten even though it was still 
plausible?  That would be incompetent at best.  In fact evidence came 
out that this precise scenario was under consideration mere months 
before 911.

Go read the transcripts form the watered down 911 commission.  You 
missed it.  I have no time to dig up what you failed to notice.
