The "Enormous mistake" was Pres. Bush's failure to apply boot to ass to all the Clinton holdovers.I am convinced that were it not for 900 or so FBI files in dem hands alot of these guys would be convicted of treason and executed or jailed for life.
One more mistake was the admin.'s failure to allow the marines to apply enormous boot to Fallujah ass. By listening to PC advice, tying the military's hands, we allowed terrorists to regroup in other cities...now the PC crowd is carping about this, how Bush should have flattened F. while we had the chance, etc.. So the PC crowd has it both ways, just like Botoxboy, the NYTimes, LATimes, CNN, etc..
