Did Joe Biden know about 9/11?

My mother asked me ever so innocently, how did Joe Biden know about 9/11 and was unable to stop it? Apparently one of her clients informed her of some speech that Mr. Biden gave the day before 9/11. My mother is certainly not a naive woman, but the quote "the attack will come in the belly of the place" certainly sounds convincing.

Why do I bring this topic up? As you know Joe Biden predicted that we will have an international crisis within 6 months of an Obama presidency. Senator Biden is no slouch, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee he is briefed to information that is of the highest secrecy. But what does this mean to us?

First of all, let me answer the first question simply, no. He did not know about 9/11. In fact, I dug up his speech and as you can see he lists a plane as a possibility. What the CIA knew at the time, I will never know, but back when I was doing research on the possible conspiracy theory - especially after Loose Change - I was shocked by just how much information our intelligence agencies have to sift through. The volume is absolutely extraordinary and the permutations of attacks was more complex than even a state of the art computer could handle. Biden was right, an attack was more likely going to happen internally, rather than an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead. However that is all they knew. An attack, somewhere, somehow was likely going to happen. Especially in light of the fact that communication supposedly between FBI and CIA was strained.

So, the possibility that we might endure another attack per Biden's prediction is likely, but his prediction is so broad that it very well could be an attack anywhere - international or otherwise.

Here is his speech.
