Would there even have been a 9/11? Bush ignored a lot of warnings about it. But even if in a Gore presidency, 9/11 had happened, I don't believe he would have invaded Iraq. Keep in mind that he did not endorse his own running mate Joe Lieberman in 2004 primaries
...not the point. There's a belief that the Bush administration brushed off warnings of the attack, but there's no sound argument that any other administration would have done more with the same warnings.

That's cause you can't determine what a different admin would've done. There's a million factors that make it impossible.
I think the chances of them catching onto the threat is a lot higher given that they wouldn't have been the bumbling idiots (or cartoonishly evil villains) of the Bush admin.
