Intelligence Failures

There is not a single major terrorist incident on US soil after 9/11. Their intelligence agencies are trying to fight the threat from where it originates. Their goal is not to secure Afghanistan.. they have been successful in defending their homeland from these kind of incidents.

Actually yes it was. The original mandate for ISAF was to secure Afghanistan. Its in the UNSC resolutions and also in various statements by the US government.

Secondly I believe the shooting at Fort Hood counts as a terror incident correct? Or the attempted bombing at Time Square. Regardless of its failure it was a huge security lapse.

And back to the original point. The US embassy in Kabul has 4 layers of US security and Wazir Akbar Khan has 3. So the fact that the Taliban could by pass those check points and get close to NDS, ISAF bases and the rest is a huge security breach. Something the US congress has said as well.
