It is an article of faith with them that we are
decadent; Clinton responded so ineffectually to terrorism in his terms that they
grew complacent;

I think that is the crux of it. They did so many things over his eight years -- the African embassies and the Cole are only two of the larger ones -- and he threatened them, but nothing ever came of it, that they began to think that America was, indeed, a paper tiger.

But Bush, thank goodness, is not Clinton. He, and the vast numbers of Americans who support his response, showed the terrorists just how paper our tiger is.
