Does Bush Deserve Credit for Ending the Iraq War?

Question sparked after reading this article.

I have to say I agree with Republicans like Stephen Hadley. As much as I profoundly disagreed with Bush's decision to invade Iraq, I nonetheless recognize that he did more than anyone to eventually end it, though it took a surge (which I supported) to get us to that point at which we could safely leave the country.

Frodo, if a drunken friend of yours urinated all over your rug, then when he sobered up took it to the dry cleaners for you, would you say he deserved credit or blame?

Both...this is not an either-or dichotomy. It is the least he could do. I am not seeing how this contradicts what I just said.
