Yes. Bush caved to Democrat politics. It's not point to defend everything Bush did. My point is to point out your own hypocrisy regarding Obama's handling of Afghanistan.
Bush ignored the Democrats, Bush ignored the international community, Bush ignored his Generals, Bush ignored his own father.......Bush was the decider
Who Bush listened to was Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz who were trying to sell the diversion into Iraq as no big deal, be over in a few months, won't take many troops or cost many lives. Deploying a force the size that Shinseki advised or for the duration Shinseki predicted would not sell politically
And you have to keep attacking Bush b/c you have no defense for Obama's hypocrisy.
Other than he had to play the hand he was dealt
By abandoning the war on terror to pursue his blunder in Iraq, Bush extended the Afghan war by five years and left the Taliban and Al Qaida in Pakistan
In another Bush mess Obama had to clean up, he had to go back and clean up Afghanistan all over
