What was lacking was the administration pushing all the independent agencies. It simply wasn't a high enough priority. There's really no evidence for this, despite Clarke's insinuations. A number of people have reported that Tenet's warnings of impending attacks were growing frequent during the summer of 2001 (Rumsfield says he was running around "with his hair on fire"), and Tenet met with the President every morning. They just didn't have enough information to act on. Woodward reported this in his book about the Sept 11th period, Bush at War If Bush had bombed the camps in Afghanistan before Sept 11th, it still wouldn't have stopped the plot, which had been five years in planning, and every adversary of President Bush would have accused him of triggering the September 11th attacks.
