The military is starting to win the hearts and minds of the local populace.

I totally agree that if this were to happen, W would have to be given some amount, if not the majority of the credit. I also agree that W would deserve to be labeled a visionary of some sort.

However, the reality is that no sitting President will allow this to happen. Sitting Presidents and Congress take credit for good things that are currently happening.

If you are correct about revising the legacies of prior presidents, then perhaps when Castro finally dies and communism eventually falls, the NY Times headline will read: "Bay of Pigs--Who's Laughing Now?"

Popular opinion shapes our history. W is wildly unpopular. Nothing that happens 5-10 years from now will change that.
