If I had to guess, I'd say that President Bush kept the terrorists focused on Iraq for several years. It was a close run thing, and the terrorists had a chance to succeed, so they put their resources there. That's been clear to just about everyone for years.

But I think it became clear quite some time ago that they had lost on that battlefield. Their resources were better spent elsewhere. Afghanistan? Maybe. But perhaps the terrorists saw a chance to shift the focus in a larger way. My guess is that the terrorists have been spending 6-12 months considering how they could hit us here in the US. With the right guy in the White House, such a blow might send out troops our of Afghanistan and Iraq and really change the game.

I say the attack has been planned, and it is close.
