Why are you surprised. GW let's the CREDIT go to where it is deserved.......THE MILITARY!! Blow job X42 on the other hand would have had a full blown press conference telling us that HE HAS NEVER WORKED SO HARD in his life......blah blah......GW has class and speaking as a retired military man I GET IT!!

He is a LEADER who does NOT look for glory...... but IMHO to which it [glory] will be bequeathed.....descending from above.

According to John King on CNN, the President wanted the field commanders to make the announcement because they and their troops are the ones doing the hard work and putting their lives on the line.
