9/11 was preventable

Playing the devil's advocate, you would think that a failed attempt on the SAME building from the SAME terrorist organization years before would have prompted the government's intelligence agencies to insert a probe way up said terrorist organizations bunghole. I'm not necessarily talking about a wholesale "war on terrorism" but just to keep closer tabs. Indeed a daunting task but wouldn't you think that knowing that such an organization actually took action would narrow their focus to THAT organization ... at least for a limited amount of time? Perhpas such action following the time of the first incident would have prevented the second trajedy. Did out political ties with Saudi Arabia at that time play a part in our government not pursuing the matter with greater scrutiny considering they have since found direct, concrete paper trails from Al Qaeda to members of the Saudi royalty?
