War on Terror in 1998

Could the Embassy Bombings in Tanzania and Kenya have lead to an earlier war on terror, as in American troops invading Afghanistan and or Sudan in 1998? Would this just be seen as Clinton trying to cover up the Lewinski Scandal? What if the Lewinski Scandal was minimized or never came up, how would that effect the response to the embassy bombings?
 
Embassies bombings would not generate enough public outcry to support vast military actions against terrorists or enemy governments....Clinton could increase the number of covert or indirect operations again Al Qaeda that could generate a 9/11-like act sooner than 2001
