>> This is where U.S. government has failed miserably ...

If you're going to characterize the US as a failure, who would you propose as a standard of success?

>> The U.S. is implementing a flawed strategy to fight terrorism because their intelligence people failed to do their job properly.

Our intelligence people have been handicapped by budgetary and legislative constraints for decades, largely related to the American electorate's lack of awareness of vulnerability to terrorism. Now that the myth of Fortress America has been exposed, I believe you'll see those constraints removed and we will pursue terrorists ruthlessly. The battle has only just begun, so it's outrageously premature for you to judge these efforts.
