Intelligence can tell you that an attack is going to occur, but not on what day. Now if you don't know when an attack is supposed to occur, then who in hell is going to be able to figure out specifically what target, in what city, what state, in what manner of attack, and by whom the attack is coming. From what direction and how many?

If A says to B, I'm declaring war on you, then if you're A, and you ignore B, he'll eventually kill your ass dead.

You're an Obama worshiper!
As I said earlier, intelligence is always fragmented, and to assume the government failed to heed the warnings is just outright stupid.

but thank you whole heartedly...I have been screaming from the rooftops and jumping up and down how this "war" on terrorism should be an extended special operations campaign...with air support... for the last 4 years...
Which is more violent, the Bible or the Quran? Is there a way to objectively answer such a question?
Well, it wouldn't be easy. But it is possible to compare the amount of cruelty and violence in the two books. Here is a summary of the highlighted verses in the SAB and SAQ.
Number of Cruel or Violent Passages
Bible 842
Quran 333
So the Bible has more than twice as many cruel or violent passages as does the Quran. But the Bible is a much bigger book. How do they compare when size is taken into account?
Violence and Cruelty Total verses Percent
Bible 842 31102 2.71
Quran 333 6236 5.34
When expressed as a percentage of cruel or violent verses (at least as marked in the SAB/Q), the Quran has about twice that of the Bible. (5.34 vs. 2.71%)*
Of course this analysis does not consider the extent of the cruelty in the marked passages. And that is an important consideration. Is Numbers 31:14-18, for example, more cruel than Quran 5:34? That is something that each person must decide.
A good argument could be made that either book is the most violent and cruel book ever written. The award would go to one or the other, for neither has any close competitors. It is frightening to think that more than half of the world's population believes in one or the other.

"... the seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them."
Joshua 6:21:
"And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."
