Also, I've seen a lot of conservatives slam Clinton for not retaliating for the Cole bombing. The fact is that the FBI investigation didn't end until Bush's first week in office three months later. Everyone knew that bin-Laden did it, but it took time to pin him down with verifiable evidence. It was then Bush's job to take action, and he didn't.

You need to read my post about "seeing the woods thru the forest"
Do you feel that this all started with the attack on 9/11 or even the Cole? This started under Jimmy Carter and went through every president since. Iran Hostages, Beirut Bombing, etc etc etc -> Sept 11th
There will be finger pointing between both parties. Why? Because if they point the blame at each other then the American public will not say, "Hey, what is the point in keeping you people in office when you ignore shit for decades?".
The real talking point is that we have a centralized government that does not serve the people of this country.
I do not need mommy, do you?
