Bush told the Taliban and AQ DO NOT F* WITH US.
He followed it up with actions that destroyed their world.

No..actually it was Reagan and Bush Sr. who left us Al-Qeada to deal with since we supported them during the invasion of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union.
We helped to create Al-Qeada and the Taliban.
IMO tho, I think Bush did not resolve anything with Al-Qeada, he only ruffled their feathers somewhat and they are still out there...especially their leader..the USA's public enemy #1.
Oh some say he is dead..well we have no proof of that. What we do have as proof..is that Osama Bin Laden is still un-captured after the 7 years of the Bush admin.
We also have the WMD issue with Iraq, where we were told time and time again that Saddam had WMD, they were there, they know they are there, we have to go in and take him out. And we found NO WMD. We were not told that we are going in because he has the capability for WMD, which is something completely different from actually having any workable WMD.

Saddam had WMD's in the past, and he did use them against the Kurds... Another worry was that sanctions were about to expire on Saddam, and he could potentially restart several WMD programs.
In closing, consider this, from January 1993 to January 2001, the Clinton administration cut defense and Intelligent spending by 35%. Nine months later and America experiences the worst act of terrorism ever on American soil.

Saddam had those weapons because we gave them to him but I would really like to know, if this is the logic going on here, then why did they wait until Bush took office to do it?

The US, along with several other western powers handed over the material to make bio weapons, true. However, Saddam was crazy enough to use them against his own people. I do not think that was somthing that was easily predicted.
