I think junior's biggest mistake was not just saying he realized that Al Gore was the choice of the American public and therefore refused the appointment the supreme court handed him. _______________________ Vote In Our Poll: President Bush Needs Your Help At last night's press conference, President Bush was asked if he could name his biggest mistake before or after 9/11. At first he said, "I'm sure something will pop into my head here." But in the end, he couldn't name a single mistake. Bush concluded: "I don't want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't - you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one." Help us help the President. This short list of clear national security mistakes made by the Administration popped into our head, and we'd like to know which of these you think is Bush's biggest: 1) Invading Iraq without a plan for the aftermath. 2) Telling the American people that Iraq definitely possessed WMD. 3) Failing to send U.S. troops into Tora Bora to capture Osama bin Laden in November 2001. 4) Disparaging Army Gen. Eric K. Shinseki when he said more troops would be needed in Iraq. 5) Focusing on missile defense while ignoring repeated warnings of an imminent al Qaeda attack before 9/11. americanprogress.org
