Biggest Screwup in History?

I watched GI Joe when I was younger and I always cheered for the US, so don't think I'm an American basher for posting this. You're current administration is a bunch of fuck ups, I am cheering for America to get out of this mess. God Speed.

 This documentary No End in Sight is a must watch, Paul Bremer won the American Medal of Freedom and as an international citizen I believe that is an insult,I hope Americans feel the same. This prestigious award is for "especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interest of the United States, World Peace or cultural or other significant public or private endeavors"--Kennedy

Does Paul Bremer fit this description? In this clip we learn about the decisions Bremer made that changed the course in Iraq and perhaps the "War on Terror". After the military easily won the Iraq war, Bremer created an insurgency that would turn the easy victory into the long endless war scenario we are in today. As the title suggests, perhaps the biggest screwup in history, if not I would like to hear arguments against that claim, I like to see how this one atleast stacks up.

This documentary is full of interviews will high level officials who were involved in the planning and reconstruction of Iraq, an fascinating peek behind the curtain, why was this stuff not reported more extensivly when it happend? So please, research, rant, blog, sift, go ahead and grab clips.
