You're saying Bush wasn't privy to the intel that Clinton had?

Apparently not if the Pentagon destroyed intel (Able Danger) equivalent to 25% of the volume of the Library of Congress before GWB assumed office.

It's not as though the current Pentagon has been entirely innocent of stonewalling on that.

But regardless, what implications would that have had on the administration's ability to hit back at those responsible for the Cole bombing? That Able Danger thing was about identifying and tracking individual terrorists, not about finding out which organizations and state sponsors were responsible for what attacks.
