Disaster of Epic Proportions

From the lead editorial in today's NY Times:

The president’s advisers need to tell him all the harsh truths about Iraq in the vivid terms they require; they need to tell him how little time he has left to act. This administration has been orchestrating a foreign policy disaster of epic proportions, and history will remember both that the president failed to hear the warning bells and that many others failed to ring them loudly enough.

It's truly hard to conceive of any way he could have screwed things up as badly as this. Of course, he still has two more years to make things even worse. A nice war with Iran would probably do that pretty well, so I suppose we can count on that.
