Just to be clear, the biggest mistake in US history was invading Iraq.
As far as Tora Bora, who knows? I know what it looks like. I do believe it was halted on purpose. But you and i don't have all the information.

The number one wanted man in the world.
Pinpointed and picked up giving orders on the radio.
We give an escape route.
We don't notice 1000 cars leaving one night.
I am not gullible enough to believe 1000 cars escaped via an unguarded/unbombed route without us noticing. And, since everyone they interviewed on MSNBC, FOX, CNN, and others were all going apeshit about the unguarded northern route BEFORE he escaped, it's safe to say they knew it was vulnerable.
Hey, if the bigger goal was Iraq, then yeah, they had to let him escape, right? Nobody would have supported invading iraq if we got osama in 2 months.
and IMO, invading iraq was a good move in the bigger scheme of things. contorl all the oil, keep it in dollars. all those new bases.
