If anyone is to blame, it’s Clinton for not fighting Al Qaeda forcefully enough on his watch, when he had the opportunity.

So what you are saying is that Clinton should have seen it coming, but Bush couldn't possibly have had a clue as to the intentions of Al Qaeda for the 9 months he was president before it happened?

Why didn't Bush fight Al Qaeda for the 9 months he was president before 911 happened?

I’m referring to Clinton passing on the opportunity to kill Bin Laden when he had the chance. Although neither Clinton nor Bush can be blamed for not forseeing 9/11, Clinton was the only one of the two who had an opportunity to kill Bin Laden, without the necessity of a large ground war, and passed on it.
