Whatever you might say about GWB, he was not "a complete incompetent" as C-I-C.
He listened to and supported his commanders in the field. He won a friggin' major engagement and liberated 25 million people, fer cryin' out loud.
Did he make mistakes? Of course. Because his advisors -- whom he trusted -- made mistakes. No President -- nor their advisors -- has ever been prescient in time of war.
But, in the end, the idea is to WIN. And, in Iraq, Bush seems to have done exactly that (if Obama and the Democrat Congress don't screw it up).
I'll give you the other two, though...
