All in all, it’s pretty simple. They tried to blow the WTC up in 1993, failed, so they came back and finished the job. Unfortunately, the person most educated about this objective, a former FBI agent, died 9/11/2001. His first day on the job as lead security for the WTC.
And the President really isn’t involved in security directly, especially investigation.
