Doug, you are absolutely correct. We knew Bin Laden and AQ was responsible for the U.S.S. Cole bombing in October of 2000 as well as previous efforts. We also know that Bill failed at taking AQ seriously as a threat.
Please answer this question:
Given the building momentum of AQ through Clinton's Presidency, and the Cole bombing 3 months before Bush sat down in the Oval Office, why did Bush do nothing but focus on his version of Star Wars and completely ignore AQ for the first 9 months of his Presidency?
it seems to me that the second the AQ boat hit the Cole and blew a hole in it, WE WERE AT WAR. If Clinton dismissed, fine, string him up for treason charges. But Bush should have done nothing but focus on who/what/why/where bombed a U.S. Navy ship from the second his a$$ hit the chair.
9/11 is Bush's responsibility because he did not investigate nor retaliate for the Cole.
