And the biggest mistake of all: Not finishing off Al Qaeda and the Taliban when he had the chance. We could have wiped them out at Tora Bora, but we sent in Afghan mercenaries to do the job and they let our enemies escape. After that, Bush lost interest in destroying the people who murdered 3000 Americans in a single day and turned his attention to doing what he really wanted to do: Attack a country that was in no way connected to Al Qaeda or 9/11.

AP Finds Bush Proposed Cuts to Research
Fri Feb 6, 4:46 AM ET

By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush asked Congress to eliminate an $8.2 million research program on how to decontaminate buildings attacked by toxins — the same day a poison-laced letter shuttered Senate offices.

Critics said Thursday they were surprised by Bush's request, included in his 2005 budget proposal. Its release coincided with the discovery of the poison ricin in Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's office on Monday.
