you are going by the idea that the terrorists were unwelcome to bush, maggie thatcher style:

"Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend." Margaret Thatcher.

bush loved al qaeda, gave america the enemy he wanted. and al qaeda loved bush for the same reason (so many recruits and cash raised)

i don't think it was incompetence that caused bush to repeat it ad nauseum.
