Intended consequences
It's become obvious that every action the Bush administration takes (whether its foreign policy, the econmomy, or the environment) results in the exact opposite effect of the stated intention. After seven years of this, it's impossible not to believe that the results are what they really intended, in the first place.
Keep things stirred up in the Middle East, and we have an excuse for another war. Ruin the economy, and more power is concentrated in the hands of fewer elite rich, denying the rest of us any opportunity to do anything except be worker drones for the rich. And the environmental results speak for themselves - "clear skies" results in more pollution; more money for the polluters. And so it goes.....
But "incompetent", they're not. They get exactly the results they want.
