Here is a simple Democratic message for the Iraq war debate in the House: BUSH'S INCOMPETENCE

Incompetence.

Yes, 9/11 was horrible. We had to act. Too bad the guy who acted, George Bush, was so incompetent that he screwed up everything up.

That is the issue. George Bush's incompetence.

He ran this war into the ground. Even if he was absolutely right for going into Iraq, even if Bush was right to believe the intelligence (which is absurd, since Bush manipulated the intelligence), Bush went to war and made a mess of this war and should be held accountable.

Bush is incompetent.
