People say "then why doesn't Bush tell us if it wasn't his idea?" Because if people think the President doesn't take blame for anything and sends us into blood baths at other people's recommendations, people would revolt and he'd be the worst President in history.

And I think also, Bush can't just change his mind now. We have already committed so many troops to that region that the Commander in Chief cannot pull them out quickly like many are asking. If it was anyone else in the White House we would still be over there. It is easier to bash the President and change your mind when you are sitting in Congress than it is when you are actually having to make the decisions.
