Bush did not plan to end the war in any fashion similar to the cut-and-run strategy of the Obamanation. Whether or not is was wise to go into Iraq is debatable; but once in, ending it like the messiah tried to do could only result in a worst-case scenario, Iraq's disintegration and a terrorist tskeover, which it has.
“ending it like the messiah tried to do could only result in a worst-case scenario,”
Needs repeating, often.
