So are you saying that Bush was aware that the attacks were going to happen on 9-11, and did nothing about it?
The Evidence Against Osama bin Laden

On November 9, 2001, in the southern Afghanistan city of Kandahar, Osama bin Laden met a Saudi cleric and several al-Qaeda members for dinner. A home-movie was recorded of the conversation, and the videotape was discovered weeks later in an abandoned private house in Jalalabad. The tape is about one hour long and is comprised of three segments. Two segments are of Osama bin Laden's conversations in a room, and another segment shows footage of a U.S. helicopter crash site in Ghazni province.
U.S. President George W. Bush viewed the tape on November 30th, and he indicated that if the authenticity of the tape could be verified then he wanted the video released to the world. On December 9, 2001 the
Washington Post, quoting senior U.S. officials, broke the story of the Osama bin Laden videotape. The Washington Post story likely hurried the release of the tape, and on December 13th the video was released to news agencies and broadcast later that morning across America and worldwide. To ensure the authenticity of the videotape, the U.S. utilized the latest voice and face identification techniques, and although the quality of the videotape is poor, teams of Arabic translators spent days listening to the tape to make sure the audible text of the conversations were accurately translated.
After the release of the tape, many newspapers in the Arab world played down the significance of the video. Some Arabic news agencies questioned the authenticity of the video, which brought a strong response from
U.S. President Bush who said, "This is bin Laden unedited. It's preposterous for anybody to think that this tape is doctored. That's just a feeble excuse to provide weak support for an incredibly evil man."
The videotape is called a "smoking gun" and represents the clearest evidence released to date of Osama bin Laden's part in the planning of the September 11 attacks. The text of the conversations clearly indicates
that Osama bin Laden knew about the attacks days before and that he had participated in the planning. The obvious glee and laughter in the room when the group trades their September 11 stories bears witness to the
"evil" that lurks within the men of al-Qaeda.
In addition to images and the text of the December 13th videotape released by the Pentagon, this section includes the complete detailed evidence against Osama bin Laden as released by Tony Blair's U.K. government
on October 3, 2001.
