Bush was in office 8 months. The fact is, that Bin Laden and radical Islamist terrorist grew leaps and bounds under the Clinton Administration which was soft on terrorism. The First World Trade Center Bombing? Clinton presidency.Black Hawk Down in Somalia? Clinton. Khobar Towers? Clinton. Kenya and Tanzinia? Clinton. USS Cole? Clinton. It was Bill Clinton and the Democrats soft stance on terrorism that led to 9-11 and the rise of Islamic extremism. If he would have been tougher and not preoccupied with his affairs and other blunders 9-11 could have been prevented.
