Clinton's admin stopped an Al Qaeda attack on LAX. This happened specifically because Clinton and Clark put the proper emphasis on terrorism as was needed. Clinton and his staff was ridiculed for being too focused on terrorism and has several funding requests specifically designed to fund our terrorism efforts denied by the republican congress who wanted him to make due with what he already had.
So, no, we have not been inept. At least not when we try to stop it.
Bush didn't have to do everything, but prior to 9/11 he didn't do anything evidenced by my previous post which outlines, with admin documents, the tremendous anti-terrorism program slashing that went on in the months preceeding 9/11.
This isn't a case of sour grapes either. Clarke didn't quite the admin in disgust. He accepted a job offer by Bush to head up a position called cybersecurity czar. If he was bitter and just had an axe to grind, he would have just left.
