Difficult to argue against at best incomptetence in the White House, and at worse something like complacency.

If by that you mean the Clinton White House, I couldn't agree more.

As for the Bush White House, a plan for dismantling al-Qaeda was on his desk two days before the September 11 attacks, hardly the picture of smug complacency or casual indifference.

On the other hand Clinton was send a warning by the Philipines in 1995 that this would happen and he just chose to send it to the Congress and they did absolutely nothing
