The Lancet fails to make clear that deaths have occured through additional reasons - such as Shi'ite/Sunni fighting, unallocated executions from within Iraq, what appears to be a rising trend in poisoning water supplies again (one of Saddam's fave tricks), and insurgents actually killed by coalition forces. It includes those killed by suicide bombs (vehicular and personal), and through the control of local hospitals and medical supplies by various internal warring factions. It's not simply as easy as pinning it all on Tony Bliar and George the Ape, although some sources would have it that way, but similarly it can be argued that a large percentage of these deaths would not have occured if we had not been lied to, and invaded Iraq, in the first place. And the only reason we were "invited in at the express request of the Iraqi government" - is because we put it there in the first place.
