Almost everyone who knew anything about Iraq predicted what would happen if the US invaded, and the Bush admin ignored or fired them. Miscalculation seems too kind a word for that.

That sounds like revisionism, Doug! Even on LBO-talk, for a _long_ time, those who thought that Washington could and should provide "security" for Iraqis, "reconstruct" Iraq, "prevent" a civil war, etc. were a majority. Look into the archived threads on Iraq from 2003 till at least early 2004.
