I think the government expected the attack to give them a green light to conduct military reprisal and perhaps allow them to further a regime change agenda in Iraq. But I don't think anyone knew how terrible the attack would be... or how expansive the military response would become.

The government knew about the impending attacks while Clinton was still in office. The problem was, they didn't have any details. No idea when or where it was going to occur. It's impossible to stop something from happening if you don't know any details.
