Ex-Terror Advisor Lashes Out
WASHINGTON, March 24, 2004
(CBS/AP) President George W. Bush's government scaled back the fight against al Qaeda after taking office in 2001 and spurned suggestions that it retaliate for the bombing of a U.S. warship "because it happened on the Clinton administration's watch," a former top terrorism adviser testified.
President Bill Clintons administration had "no higher priority" than combating terrorists while the Bush administration made it "an important issue but not an urgent issue," said Richard Clarke, who advised both presidents. He testified Wednesday before the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, the worst terrorist strikes in American history.

Well, after terrorists saw the way the Bush administration ran away from the investigaton of the USS Cole bombing, its craven apology to the Chinese over the spy plane incident, and its arrogant refusal to apologize over the Ehime Maru incident (Google it, you should know what happened), they apparently came to the conclusion that the Crawford Frat Boy was all flash and no dash. Eight months into his term, the twin towers came down.
I keep saying there's a reason it happened when Bush was president, and not while Clinton was president.
