“We should all be very glad that we have a Democratic president right now; otherwise the news would be terrible. We would be seeing a rash of horrible and depressing stories in the newspapers about strategic failure, with unremitting second guessing and belittling of a president who agonized for months before the surge and then saw his plan fail. We’d be hearing non-stop reports in the media about the incompetent and klutzy leader who torpedoed his own policy by announcing a withdrawal date; the man who tried to please everybody and do everything—and failed at all he tried.”

(But we all know Bush started it when he invaded Afghanistan in 2001. If he hadn’t done that, we wouldn’t have had Obama’s surge. Nixon’s Vietnamization was Johnson’s fault.)
