I thought about this for a while, and I see an endlessly repeating pattern here. If you look at all the Bush fiascos they all have certain elements in common- poor planning, and a response to events that is extremely defensive, often wrong or dishonest, and which often is more harmful to the administration than the original "mistake"- though sometimes the mistake- like the Iraq invasion- overwhelms the stupidity of the response to the mistake. I think the the poor planning highlight the hubris and stupidity of the administration, while the defensiveness is the flip side of the hubris- it's a "How can anyone challenge us when we are doing what's right for the country" response- to everything, with absolutely no grain of doubt in it, which is always a problem. True believers cause a lot of havoc in the world, and in the end, most of the problems from this admin come down to the fact that they are a nest of true believers, and the really truly can't see the world any other way. We will see more of this until they are gone.
