Except of course Congress, who has the power to withdraw troops after X amount of days of their deployment. And no one is saying Bush was forced into anything. But the responsiblity isn't his alone. People forget that this all went through Congress and passed (with Kerry's approval, non-the-less) before we ever declared war. Using Bush as a scape-goat is fine for the average American, but they forget that Kerry's signature was on that declaration of war too.

Examples of this besides Iraq? The playground analysis extremely subjective (ask a Democrat, then ask a Republican... ask a Russian then ask a German), especially with current events and nations changing their stance on our invasion of Iraq constantly.
