Don’t forget the possibility that they knew of the terrorists’ plans (they even had warnings from the US) but chose to do nothing because that served their purposes better.
The same cartoon could just as well depict the Dubya Bush administration after 9/11, with the participants offering somewhat different excuses. Some things don’t change with time or geography.
What I do remember about Dubya Bush and the lead up to 9/11 is that in Florida he shut down all the IT cyber security functions and then when someone tried to tell him about the “pilots who were not learning how to land” he said finding the missing W keys on the keyboards in the White House was more important. I’m kidding about he keyboards of course!! But they were clueless about IT and cyber security – especially since Bill had foresight and had created the function (gasp) it was unnecessary.

We had some specific intel ahead of this and actually warned them — Putin accused us of meddling. Déjà vu from warning the Iranians.
Kinda proud of U.S. this time. We hates them terrorists to pieces.

I am waiting for the Kurds to take their revenge on the tRumps for selling them out to the turks in Syria

That table should be much longer, Putin does not like to be sitting too close to the help or near a window.

^^ Somewhat different? I’d say quite a bit different, particularly the poisoned opposition and censored journalists.
