What is not clear is the continuation of this " Serious Attention" by the Bush Administration after taking office, not that they would have prevented this disaster either, But they might have had they been paying attention.
Quite simply Put....Clinton was no longer President on 9/11/2001, there was absolutely nothing he could have done. Bush was President on 9/11/2001.
From my reasearch, and Data available to anyone interested in looking it is obvious The Clinton Administration was already at War with Terrorism, though quite limited in scope for many reasons. The War seems to have taken a break until 9/11.

.... at which time Bush should be credited for taking the appropriate action and using approproriate force to invade Afghanistan, with the support of nearly all of the American people and most of the world, inlcuding muslim nations.
--- unitil he diverted his attention and US military resources to invade Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11 and as the recent NIE determined, became
the ’cause celebre’ for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement.”
For that, there is blame to be placed.
