I think if the US had an intelligence strategy priotized around protecting the homeland rather than interfering in distant lands, it is highly unlikely that 9/11 would have succeeded.
Keep in mind 9/11 was a godsend for the latter strategy. PNAC was begging for a new Pearl Harbor to increase defense/IC spending just months before it happened.

That still doesn’t implicate the CIA in a domestic intelligence failure. The CIA didn’t aid and abet 9/11—I frankly thought this nonsense died a decade ago.
