Now we all know it wasn't because the book is about the Clinton administration failing to respond to bin Laden, NOT Bush's failure. Why do you keep bringing Bush into this?
If you actually read any of it, it details the multiple times which the Clinton Administration had opportunities and failed to respond. In fact, it was right around the time when Clinton was being impeached, dealing with multiple lawsuits for illegal campaign contributions, perjury, witness tampering, obstructions of justice, and sexual harassment.
The book further states that on at least five separate occasions the Clinton Administration dating back to 1996. Additionally, the then Director of the CIA notified the administration that they were basically already in a state of war as early as 1998, but Clinton was too busy to deal with this issue as he had more pressing problems with all the lawsuits against him.

I'm not saying that Bush didn't fail, but again, to imply that Clinton didn't fail as well is simply not accurate. Otherwise we would have gotten him.
