The US President was on a long, long vacation having been in office actively only 6 full months in office in Washington, DC so far. He received his daily intelligence briefing, and this is a photo from that briefing.
Here (except for the new redactions) is the first page of that briefing.
Bush did absolutely nothing in response to it. In 2004, Bush was forced, after many attempts to kill the 9/11 investigation completely, to allow Condoleezza Rice, who conducted the briefing, to testify before the Commission. This is what she said:
“It wasn’t something that anyone told us we were supposed to do anything about!”
