Are we too harsh on Bush? He stayed unlike Johnson in the Vietnam war who bailed out and abandoned the troops.

Don't get me wrong, the Iraq war is beyond SNAFU but in March 1968 Johnson had 500,000 troops in the war, 30,000 dead, over 1000 American POWs and he announced he would not run. I was there and it was not easy seeing the CINC bail out when the troops had no parachute. It was Nixon who ended the war and brought back the POWs to the U.S.
