Bush knew about impending bin Laden attack 2 months before 9/11!

According to this Washington Post article by Bob Woodward, Condi Rice was warned by CIA director Tenet 2 months before 9/11 happened, but failed to do anything about it! From the article, the CIA director:

...did not know when, where or how, but Tenet felt there was too much noise in the intelligence systems. Two weeks earlier, he had told Richard A. Clarke, the National Security Council's counterterrorism director: "It's my sixth sense, but I feel it coming. This is going to be the big one."

But instead of acting on this information, the Bush administration was trying to push the anti-ballistic missile defense, and planning a strategy for going into Iraq. And now, Rice has the gall to say to people who accuse her and Bush of dragging their feet on Al Qaeda before 9/11 that "what we did in the eight months was at least as aggressive as what the Clinton administration did in the preceding years."
