Agreed. The administration's first big mistake was letting there be looting during the early days of the war. A lot of the weapons being used against us right now came from that looting.

The second big mistake was allowing insurgents to murder Americans and drag their bodies through the streets of Fallujah. Fallujah should have been reduced to a crater the next day. That would have nipped a lot of this shit in the bud right then and there.
