According to Paul O'Neal (the Secretary of the Treasury who was ousted after serving two years) Bush's first order of business in January 2001 was the invasion of Iraq. O'Neal quoted Bush as having said something like, "Find me a way, a plan to attack Iraq......"

Seems to me the Jihadists of Osama ben Laden beat Bush to the punch on 01/09/11.

I believe they succeeded only because Osama who looked like a camel-driver wasn't taken seriously enough at that time, and their mode of attack, even when known to the CIA and FBI, was thought to be unachievable, and so apparently no concerted action was taken to nip it in the bud.
