Bush's plan does not have public support or, according to many in the military,the highest likelihood of success.
He, as Commander in Chief, is the one who has the greater responsibility to initiate serious discussions with both parties in Congress to develop a plan that the public can support and may actually work to stablize Iraq and get us out of the mess his failed plans (or the more inexcusable and indefensable lack of initial planning for post-Saddam) to-date have created.....rather than digging his heels and saying "I'm the decision-maker" and this plan (the third or fourth "new way forward") will work "'because I told them it had to."

P.S. I have heard a few talk shows and read a few articles about the hypocrisy described in the OP. I guess some see it even if you don't.

You are absolutely right..I dont see it the same way as Fox News (William Kristol), the Wash Times editorial page (Tony Blankly), or other talking heads, editorial pundits and right wing blogs that have supported Bush's Iraq policy from the beginning without ever raising a question.
