You'd think that given they'd run through the op on a 1:1 model of the complex, they'd have been aware of the turbulence issue and modified their plan accordingly.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the US don't want to admit that somebody on the ground got lucky and slotted a bullet or two into something vital during the approach. Seems faaaaaaar more likely than a mechanical fault kicking in at that last critical moment, or "turbulence" they should have known about.
