Personally I don't think either were "to blame" even if the buck ultimately stopped at their desks.

It's still not a good comparison though. In 9/11 there were numerous systems that should have prevented it, and every single one of them failed. Most importantly, the gov's own intel. (assuming you believe it was really just a couple of grade school terrorists that pulled it off).
With BP... intel didn't fail. Norad didn't fail. The military didn't fail. The airlines security didn't fail. It may have been sheer incompetence on the part of those involved directly, like BP, Halliburton, etc... but it can't be attributed to the incompetence of the government. 9/11 can.
