Sure they should take charge, but it takes time for the right information to be passed up the line and assessed, even if anyone had foreseen such an attack.
Fortunately the people that had the information acted responsibly.
As much as I dislike Bush, I think he was fully aware the team that travels with him on Air Force one was much more capable than he, in accessing information and acting on it.
