Predictions about Bueno de Mesquita’s predictions
response to Wonkadelica's post Odds
Who is saying he wasn't consulted on the confluence of events that led to 9/11 or the (what seemed obvious to even me before we even did it) catastrophic outcome of invading Iraq? I'm not saying Bueno de Mesquita did predict these events. I'm only saying that Bush and his administration have not been interested in taking the advice of anyone who wasn't telling them what they wanted to hear, even if that person had a 97% prediction accuracy rate.

Bad Journalism, or CIA Plant?
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.
