It's called not having a plan to win the peace, gekko. Being as President Bush is the Commander in Chief, I would say that yes, it is his responsibility to make sure things like this don't happen. Note that this thread title doesn't call Bush a criminal. Merely incompetent. I think you're doing a little spinning of your own.

Now call me crazy, but I like my presidents to have control of things. Considering that many military advisors told the Bush adminstration and Secretary Rumsfeld that more troops would be needed to invade and hold Iraq and that they were ignored, my confidence in Bush is not at an all time high.
