This "planned action" had been set in motion a year and a half earlier by Clinton. Bush sat on it for a year. It is not that planning had not been done, it is that Bush did not move qucikly, preferring instead to go back to the drawing board after his election instead of picking up where the previous administration had left off. This cost the US at least a year of "doing nothing" while replanning what had already been planned -- and during this lapse, we were attacked. Terrorism was an urgent issue. Bush delayed action. Iraq was not even an important issue, much less urgent -- and on this one Bush took action. Priorities were and still are, all screwed up under this Administration.
