They couldnt have taken out Air Force One with this thing, AF-1 probably has every counter measure known to man on that thing.

There was a story or report a year or so ago about the countermeasures AF-1 has. The measures it has would be prohibitive, cost wise, and understandably, for normal airplanes.

It would depend upon the distance the missile would have to travel. The countermeasures would take time to be deployed, depending on the distance involved, they could be useless in some cases. If it takes five seconds for them to deploy and it takes three seconds for the misslie to reach it's target...well, I guess you see the point.
