They understood the mechanics of government, and used them in ways that proved to be destructive. Their incompetence was ideological, the failure to understand that regime change imposed by military invasion is rarely successful - especially in the Middle East with its history of rivalries and hatreds having nothing to do with us. Kegbreath and stooges are operationally incompetent - doing stupid things stupidly.
