Just a wild ass guess on my part, but it might be due to Al Qaeda not being represented by a single sovereign nation. Clinton was waiting for intelligence confirmation of obl's involvement in the Cole bombing to warrant an attack in Afganistan. That confirmation wasn't made until January, 2001, which was ignored by Bush until after 911. Does that help sort things out for you a bit?
