Ty, this Shit Works Both Ways

3. It blames Bush for a military, rather than a policy decision. So really he is blaming the brass.

As for your 1. and 2., whatever. Semantic quibbles, I say.
As for 3., I guess it's your view that when these wars go well, Bush gets the credit, but when they go poorly, it's the military's fault? Where does the buck stop? Wasn't that what Bush said when he landed on the aircraft carrier -- we've done pretty well so far in Iraq, and the military -- not we politicians -- deserve all the credit?
