3. Somehow, incompetence doesn't do it justice.
If the Bush Administration was trying really, really hard to run the Iraq War as incompetently as possible, they couldn't do as good (or as bad) a job as this. This has wandered over into the land of self-sabotage.

Did Bush and the PNACers bark and snarl themselves into a corner? Maybe they were genuinely stunned by the lack of acquiesence on the part of the German, French, and Russians, couldn't go back to the UN after all the maniacal nose-thumbing, and decided to quick-march on into Iraq anyway. Which, if they really believed their own intelligence assessments, was a pretty insane thing to do with such a dodgy coalition.

I'm old enough to know better than to try to figure out why stupid people (individually or collectively) do the things they do, but damn!....
