Khalid Sheikh Muhammed said, “If not for the ferocity of George W. Bush’s response to the 9/11 attacks, al-Qaeda would have been able to carry out more attacks against America.”
Essentially, KSM is saying that they carried out the terror attacks on 9/11 in the mistaken belief that George W Bush would treat the attacks as a law enforcement issue and respond as Bill Clinton had done after the two US Embassy attacks in Africa and the USS Cole attack in Yemen – firing a few missiles into empty tents. Or as Ronald Reagan had done after the 1983 bombings of the US Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983 – pull all the troops out.
