You don’t really believe that it was pointless. Do you? Bush had reasons
for doing what he did. You (and I!) just disagree with the felicity of his
reasons. You have, in the past, given room for either evil or incompetence
as the explanation of his motives. But I really don’t think there’s any
evidence for the incompetence hypothesis. His team knows exactly what’s
going on.

Really?
They knew in advance that these fanatics and insurgents would be emboldened?

They certainly should have known. Is anyone really surprised by events?

I think you have to be pretty machavellian to see how that would actually be
of any benefit to anyone, enough that you would deliberately plot for that
outcome. Also why were they saying this would be a walk?
