Do any of you recall when an al Qaeda group attacked the US Consulate in Jeddah, Sandi Arabia in 2004, killing 5 American, US Consulate staffers ?

Al Qaeda-linked group takes credit for Saudi attack

Why did no one accuse W, Colin Powell, or Donald Rumsfeld of incompetence back then for allowing that attack and not sending in US troops to Jeddah in reaction?
