What if I told you 9-11 could have been prevented? Because the truth is, the warning shot came a
00:00:04.200
year earlier. 25 years ago today, October 12, 2000, the USS Cole, a billion-dollar Navy destroyer,
00:00:09.860
was ripped open by an al-Qaeda suicide bombing in Yemen. 17 American sailors were killed,
00:00:15.520
dozens more wounded. Washington called it a criminal act. In reality, it was al-Qaeda's
00:00:19.900
declaration of war, and America ignored it. Streaming now on Daily Wire Plus, the untold
00:00:24.100
story in a three-part original series, USS Cole, al-Qaeda's strike before 9-11.

grit and training to keep their ship from sinking. And we expose the investigation that traced the
00:00:46.220
plot straight to al-Qaeda's network, a flashing red alarm that should have forced America to act.
