Leiter is the true author of Bond's pain
'I'll extract Le Chiffre in the morning James'. Felix obviously expected Le Chiffre to hang around like a good boy awaiting his arrest. Maybe partake in a last supper with his wife & bald henchman. So he didn't feel the need to capture him immediately or even to keep a watch on him. Without Felix: no Vesper blackmail, no Vesper death, happy retirement for Bond etc etc.
You would think Bond might be slightly peeved at Leiter. Not a bit of it. There's nothing Bond likes more than meeting his old buddy Felix for a beer, & then downing said beer in 5 seconds in order to make a quick getaway from Leiter's CIA chums who are equally keen to destroy Bond's life. But Bond's a generous chap. He can forgive Leiter both for his major role in Vesper's death & for luring him into a death trap. Even congratulating Felix on his promotion. A worthy successor to Greg Beam. He's even more callous & has the uncanny ability to retain people's loyalty no matter what. Blofeld's got nothing on him.

Please don't start a new thread without checking threads that already exist. Had you phrased this as a question, it could have gone in the Bond Questions Thread. A thread is not a blog, though too often people mistake it for such.
I have taken the liberty to move your post there:
