on the back of a military that 'defends' it's country with a military budget which is more than virtually everyone else on the planets combined
and yet failed to detect the rise of a bunch of psychotic Wahhabi hard-right fascists on it's radar, born in a country which was supposedly one of it's allies
or something

Two of the 911 hijackers were well know to be senior Al Qaeda operatives by the CIA, but inexplicably they were allowed to enter the states, and the FBI was not alerted to their presence. Although they were 'known', what they were up to wasn't, and they weren't being watched. Unknown knowns.
