Or we could have not known about the bombing of the cole and been caught with our pants down on 9/11 just the same. There is no way to proove that if there was no budget cut we could have prevented any of those attacks.

we may not have known... but the likelyhood of knowing would have been much higher. you cant argue that with half the budget of the previous administrations that we would know as much as pervious administrations.... in the intell game money talks and bullshit gets our asses blown up. intell is a pricey thing... you have to pay to put people in possitions to get picked up and go undercover... you have to pay informants for information... the fact is when you cut a budget like that... people have to come out of the field... your ability to collect intell is hurt, the amount and quality suffers.
