Well many think Ike screwed up in not pinching the German salient/bulge off and instead opted to slug it out with the Germans frontally.

Don't you just love Monday morning quartebacks? Equipped with the knowledge of hindsight, they always know how everyone else should have reacted in the heat of battle.

Now if Ike had had a time machine...

That statement is ignorant of the histpry - no Monday morning quartebacking at all - generals confornted Ike about his strategy and he overruled them.
