'If that's the case, why am I supposed to get excited about Clarke's testimony? Because Bush would rather have attacked Iraq, but accepted that we had to concentrate on Afghanistan first after the attack?'

Because Bush would rather have attacked Iraq, who had no connection with 911 because of some personal agenda of his & of his boys

And because he did attack Iraq on fraudulent grounds before he got through "hunting Osama out of his hole, dead or alive.' because of some personal agenda of his & of his boys.

Bush's mad obsession with Iraq shows more clearly all the time, and Clarke is bringing more evidence of it.

Arguing whether 911 could have been prevented, by either Clinton of Bush, is futile, so far at least. But whether Bush used 911 as a pretext to attack Iraq seems clearer all the time.
