Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz presided over what one diplomat calls a ''colossal miscalculation'' that may have more impact on this country than did the miscalculation at the Bay of Pigs four decades ago. This is a funny one. Comparing one of the greatest modern military victories to Kennedy's failure to oust Castro by withholding air support.
Let's see, total victory on the one hand vs. total failure on the other. Yeah, these are comparable.
We do have to admit that after the failure of the Bay of Pigs, the Boston Globe called for the firing of the cabinet officers involved. Kennedy responded by firing half his cabinet. It's only fair to expect the Globe will be just as tough on the Bush Adminiatration as they were on the Kennedy Administration.
Maybe I shouldn't have eaten those mushrooms we picked yesterday.
