It cannot be anymore clear who is the biggest loser here. Or how the best resources combined with complete incompetence don't achieve anything.

I don't think your being completely fair here on Bush, (Not that I am defending him)
A good friend and retired counterterrorism professional told me this many years ago, and I heard this same line tonight. Fighting terrorism is like playing hockey where the only goal scored wins the game, it doesn't matter how many pucks were deflected by the goalie.
I can only illcit a shit eating grin out of him when I ask how many 9/11 scale attacks have been prevented in the past. The fact is we'll never hear about how many attacks have been prevented as much as President Bush and previous presidents would love to tout it, but we will always be reminded of the ones that got through.
