Seriously?  I mean, I know the writer works at AEI, but “no convincing evidence”?  And then, later, he tries to pawn everything off on Paul Bremer.  Er, who appointed Bremer?  Um….

to what is all this to be attributed? According to one highly publicized article in Vanity Fair, several leading neoconservatives put the blame on poor execution of their ideas on the part of the administration. This is not a very satisfying analysis. Complaints about government incompetence dog every administration, almost always with justice, and there is no convincing evidence that the functioning of the present administration has been worse than that of its predecessors.
