Leave it to Cohen to find a far left silver lining in what adult politicians universally consider an all hands fiasco. Reminds my of people suggesting that Oklahoma City scored some elusive graitas for X42.
Clinton and Gore were regretting that 911 didn’t happen “on their watch” because it would’ve “made them” great presidents.
Except the WTC was bombed on Clinton’s watch. So was the USS Cole. And the US embassies in Africa. And he folded. Treated it as crimes of vandalism, not acts of war.

Chris Matthews: Clinton never had shot at greatness/never got opportunity Bush was given Tuesday
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 09/13/2001 | Chris Matthews
Washington — Lucky though he was, Bill Clinton never had his shot at greatness...he never got the opportunity George W. Bush was given this Tuesday: the historic chance to lead.
“I would have preferred being president during World War II” he said one night in January 1995. “I’m a person out of my time.” - Bill Clinton
