President Bush committed to a surge and his successor, President Obama, is the one who decided to send far fewer than those in field command thought necessary I hear you, and you do make a good point.
But why was an Afghan surge even necessary in 2008? The war should have been over long before then. That's on Bush.

It should have been. President Bush was more focused on high-intensity Iraq than low-intensity Afghanistan. That will weigh on his legacy.
