Whoever screwed up...ultimately, Bush is accountable. Maybe in with third world despots it doesn't work that way, but in a democracy it does.

"Whoever screwed up" implies that there was a major screwup. That is far from clear.

When there are major screwups in a third world dictatorship the dictator would be more responsible for the screw up but probably less accountable. Meaning it would be more likely to be his screwup but less likely that anything would be done about it. He would be more likely to have something to do with it, either micromanaging the conflict or micromanaging the appointment of officers who would be directly responsible. But the third world dictator would probably not be held accountable even if he was responsible.

By trying to defend the indefensible

Its not even clear that there is something that needs to be defended much less that there is something "indefensible".
