I added to my post above.

Like you said.

the intelligence was there, Bin Laden was connected to the bombing of embassys overseas, Clintona and Bush would have LOVED to go after OBL, but there was no way that the US would have had the support to attack afghanistan prior to 9/11

I still say Iraq was option 1 in the Bush administration and Al Qaeda brought the shit storm on themselves by bringing its self to the fore front with the 9/11 attacks and pushing Iraq to the backburner.
