I agree with that. Saying that the biggest problem was incompetence suggests that the invasion was justified. The Bush administration was not only inept in its handling of the occupation; first and foremost it acted deceitfully and maliciously toward both the Iraqi and the American people (resulting in millions of broken lives). The biggest problem for me is not incompetence, but reckless and cynical malevolence. These people should be held accountable. Instead, they are getting a buttload of money and respectable retirements to make up for the emotional pain of being ridiculed for incompetence.
