Some bipartisan-sounding Senator on Fox just said right out that "Democrats made Iraq Bush's war," and now he hopes they'd treat Obama much differently. Yeah, sure, now that the responsiblity is their party's. They own it, and they better do a better job of winning it than any Republican did, or else.
Though what I think will happen is that Bush set up the favorable strategy and conditions -- no successful attacks on our soil after 9/11 despite sundry tries -- and Obama will take credit for the victory, if the GWOT is visibly winding down and the terrorist murderers/antiglobalists/abusers of women and their asswipe supporters with the mental acuity of donkeys are being run out of every country they've slipped into -- or dropped through gallows traps on a regular basis. Taking the credit will be, of course, with incomplete justification.
But foreign policy goals that are actually seen to be shared by all members of the parties' senior leadership would be a fine show of bipartisan goodness.
