Clinton sent cruise missiles at Bin Laden in, what, 1998? So, there were at least a couple of years before he was done that he perceived a significant threat worthy of missiles. I just don't buy that on Jan. 25, 2001, al Qaeda suddenly became a more significant concern.
Credit bin Laden with this: he picked a particularly good time to strike-a presidential interregnum. Good thing Kerry wasn't elected, I suppose.
