Why didn't Bush wage war on Al Qaeda before 9/11?

What I don't get is that assuming Clinton had the information and means to do more about OBL, why didn't Bush use that same information and means during his first 240 days of office? It's not like Bush came into office unaware of the terrorist threat. He had a transition team; Al Qaeda had been in the news; Clinton had personally warned him; and there had already been several terrorist attacks. It seems to me that using the logic that the right uses, Bush should have gone after OBL and Al Qaeda immediately after getting into office.
