I blame Bush for making stupid moves that endangered America's ability to respond to crises. The idea of preparation is to be able to deal with the unpredictable as it emerges. Any failure of preparation must be justified by greater need elsewhere.
Iraq fails that test, and badly at that. So, I lay the blame at his doorstep. Either he should have been more prepared, or should have been more careful about committing the troops. But, no, he wanted a discount war during budget cuts, as Occhi pointed out.
Any reason why it's not fair to blame him for this? I can't see it.
