They have this all wrong - the buck stops somewhere over there. Just ask Karl:

A Council on Foreign Relations study said the decision that reconstruction would not need any more forces than the invasion was a critical miscalculation.

“The failure to take this phase of conflict as seriously as initial combat operations has had serious consequences for the United States, not just in Iraq but, more broadly, for international efforts to stabilise and rebuild nations after conflict.”Specifically, it said the perceived failure to prepare properly for the post-war period had given an “early impetus for the insurgency”.
