Just How Incompetent Is The Bush Administration?
They get caught at everything they do.

When I think about their incompetence this is the most glaring thing that comes to mind. They have spent half a trillion dollars trying but they can't get oil out of Iraq. World's second largest known reserves secured by what we are told is the strongest military the world has ever seen and those idiots can't get that oil to market.

What's yours?

1. They're not.
They're highly competent criminals. They know exactly what they're doing, and every time we suggest they're bunglers, we just help them lower expectations.

4. Yeah, but they do keep screwing up.
I mean unless you assume all the apparent screw-ups are part of some larger master plan.

2. Incompetent by design.
The Sauds aren't crying the blues that the Iraqi oil is in the ground and off the market. Bonus! They got their #1 secular threat taken care of. Not bad for a country from where 15/19 hijackers originated.

6. Yeah, but isn't that Karl Rove a GENIUS!
LOL! I love it. And the dems are still afraid of a cyborg with an 18% approval rating, and a moron who can pronounce nuclear, let alone find a cache of wmd WE put there.

7. I go back and forth on whether I think they are incompetent or not
if anything, putting Bush (who definitely is incompetent) in front and appearing to be bungling everything sort of sets up their favorite idea: that Government is incapable of doing anything right. In my opinion, it just proves anti-government regulation Conservatives are incapable of doing anything right though.

What kills me is how many people still believe in them and support them, although I guess the old "garbage in/garbage out" idiom applies: If the people are not given the truth, they will believe the lies.

8. I think more arrogant and corrupt than incompetent...
the more lies you tell, the more likely that you're going to get caught. Just imagine the things they've done that we still don't know about yet.

10. It's not incompetence
If something goes wrong on their watch, it's because they don't care enough to try and stop it. Because solving problems is not what they seized power for, lining their own pockets s.

11. Their incompetence is only exceeded by their corruption
and lust for power. They're so bad they've turned incompetence in to a fig leaf for their corruption and the mass corporate media have willingly obliged holding their leaf for them.

12. Who's more incompetent? This administration, or those who can't seem to do anything about them...
...regardless of how blatantly incompetent (and unConstitutional, and criminal, and treasonous) they behave? When the fuck is Congress going to do its fucking job?
