We know the Cole bombing took place a few months before junior took office and he did nothing about it.

Your logic is close to idiocy.

..predator unmanned drone .. Couldn't have stopped the 911 attack even if Bush had had OBL killed prior to 911. In fact, I suspect if Bush had taken out OBL prior to 911, many on the left would now be claiming 9-11 happened because of OBL's killing.

We know that 2 of the hijackers who were on the list of known al-quida members were renting a house together and taking flying lessons using their real names

Uh, yeah we know that all right as I posted earlier:

on August 29, 2001, the day after the National Security Law Unit killed the Moussaoui investigation that would have led to two 9/11 hijackers and to the Hamburg cell that planned the attack, it cited the Wall to rebuff as well a New York agent’s urgent pleas to let him and his subordinates help track down al-Qaida member Khalid Almihdar. According to the Bureau’s paranoid Wall interpretation, because the New York agent was working criminal cases against terrorists, and Almihdar had not been indicted for a crime, the agent and his men could not cooperate with the intell agents searching for Almihdar.
Immediately after the NSLU’s prohibition, the agent sent an angry e-mail to FBI headquarters: “Someday someone will die—and wall or not—the public will not understand why we were not . . . throwing every resource” at terrorists.
On September 11, when his office received the passenger manifests of the four hijacked flights, the agent shouted: “This is the same Almihdar we’ve been talking about for three months.” In a parody of bureaucratic buck-passing, his supervisor responded: “We did everything by the book.”
One cannot understand America’s failure to prevent 9/11 without understanding the history of the Wall.

..chatter concerning an imminent attack was way up preceding 9-11 And should we have shut down the airline industry on the basis of the chatter?

..the Cole bombing took place a few months before junior took office and he did nothing about it. What should he have done? BTW do you know that Bush did do something about this? Though it wasn't till '02.

We know that Zacarias Moussaoui was arrested that and clues to the upcoming attack should have been pieced together from his activities Another thing we know and we know why we got no clues from Moussaoui - the wall built by the Clinton administration.
