Because there was no other attempt. Terrorist 2 George Jr administration 0.
Meanwhile we know Clinton successfully stopped at least one and problably more attacks by simply telling all Federal employees to watch for an impending attack. And so Deana Deans found and stopped the attacker. Which attack did Clinton not stop? The attack on the USS The Sullivans. Why was that attack averted? Terrorists put too many explosive on the boat. The boat sank.
Told that bin Laden was planning an attack, what did George Jr do? Nothing. Instead he moved the CounterTerrorism Security Group out of the White House. And demoted it from Cabinet level to Assistant Cabinet level. And some here deny extremists are dumb?
What did he and everyone in his administration do on 11 Sept? He sat in a child's chair for 15 minutes after being told, "A second plane has just struck the World Trade Center. America is under attack". He sat there and did nothing. He did not even ask one question. He waited to be told what to do. And some here deny extremists are dumb?
Nobody else did anything that day. Finally a man in VA, without any authority to do so, took it upon himself to order all planes landed. Nobody in the administration could even make that decision - because extremism is another word for dumb.
No one in the administration even authorized fighters to shot down an attacking airliner. Even though Cheney said he did. Reality - no he did not. As the 911 Commission bluntly states.
On 11 Sept he does not even give the Air Force authority to protect America. But he sure can shot his hunting partners. Who was the enemy?
