I can't believe the amount of spinning done these days by Bush apologists that try to equate him to the finest president this country has known.

For starters, Lincoln did not begin a war based on either faulty data or blatant lies. Secondly, only time and history will tell if the current strategy in Iraq will succeed or fail. To equate Petraeus to either Grant or Sherman is poor logic at this time. Finally, Lincoln had legitimate reasons to fight the Civil War (i.e. direct attacks by a known enemy on Federal property) while Bush has never had a legitimate reason for our presence in Iraq. He admitted so himself in September 2006 that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Spin it all you want. George W. Bush is no Abraham Lincoln.
