RE :”You act like that was an example of incompetence for a President not to do so, when the surge was against the advice of his military advisors and generals. He turned out to be right.”

Generals ????, he was the CinC. It was him who sent his administration out to sell the invasion, so it was his job to make it work.
You posted like Obama talks, that Bush waltzed in late 2006 as a trouble shooter from the outside.

Obama has lots of excuses too:Its all the GOPs fault the website doesnt work
Its all the insurance companies fault that policies are canceled.

Each party (loyalists) LOVES their own excuses and scoffs at the others.

Obamacare is Obama

Bush was warned :"If you break it then you will own it"

“Generals ????, he was the CinC.”

Perhaps you don’t understand what the President’s job is there. It is usually a bad thing when the President gets involved in tactics....as you note with Hitler, while clearly not understanding what you are saying.
