response to Michael A.M. Lerner and Ethan Hill's post The New Nostradamus
Odds
I predict that the 3% failure rate of Bueno de Mesquita’s system, included 9/11 and Iraq.
Please do not expect us to believe he was not consulted before hand about these easily avoidable national catastrophes. I am at a loss to understand why he was not asked such an obvious question by the interviewer.
I am at a still greater loss to understand why I haven't seen this in the major media by now. I'm sure Dr. Rice will clear up all our questions when the book come out.
Yeah, sure.

It's odd that Michael Lerner didn't even ask about 9/11, or Iraq. Either he failed to predict 9/11, which would have exposed serious flaws in his method since it claims to be so granular in everything else, or he did predict it, which would expose criminal negligence by the administration and lies about having advanced warnings, or a conspiracy to allow it to happen.
Lerner didn't bother to ask about Iraq either. Two major inexcusable lapses in basic journalism. I can believe Cheney would have ignored the warning about Iraq. If this article is for real, I can't believe he didn't know about it.
How can a claim that the National Security Advisor/Secretary of State is the co-author, fail to include any reference to the greatest catastrophes of out time?
This story smells like one of those CIA plants.
