"The Administration has made critical mistakes and errors in judgment leading up to the war in Iraq. The President refuses to acknowledge these mistakes, and thus, no corrective action has been taken to prevent these problems from happening again"

This quote by Zoe Lofgren is a criticism of the Bush Administration's handling of the war in Iraq. She is explaining that the Administration has actually made mistakes and mistakes in judgment that have resulted in the war, however the President refuses to acknowledge them. This implies that no restorative action has actually been taken to avoid similar mistakes from happening in the future. This is a major problem, as it might cause more costly and disastrous mistakes in the future. Lofgren is calling for the President to take responsibility for his errors and to take corrective action to ensure that similar mistakes are not duplicated.
