"allowed 9/11 to happen". I just doubt that he knew exactly what kind of attack would be involved (the briefing aside).
All the available information indicates that he would have relished the opportunity to "react" to a terrorist attack given the additional power and stature he would be granted. He was, after all, a narcissistic dry drunk from the circles of power, harboring delusions of grandeur, with a plan to invade Iraq regardless. I just assume that he assumed it would be a small-scale attack with minimal casualties. The size of the attack was probably just gravy for that homicidal maniac and his surrounding cast of homicidal Zionist bureaucrat chickenhawk nerds.
"Now nobody's gonna say nothin to us.. if they do we'll fuckin destroy 'em," he most likely said.
Side note, anyone who argued in defense of his finishing the "My Pet Goat" photo op should never be listened to on any issue ever again. Defending his behavior that day is cognitive dissonance in the purest sense - similar to Obama voters who protested Bush spying as authoritarian and dictatorial but defend Obama spying and drone striking as perfectly justifiable. Is same. Is human brain making sense of the world in the most convenient ways possible. "This interpretation fits nicely." File->Save.
