In other words, the "success" in Anbar had nothing to do with the "surge" or whatever else Bush has done there!!

Were the Americans fighting in Anbar 10 months ago? Yes. Were they trying to negotiate with the Sunnis 10 months ago? Yes. Leo says they were! Were they in position to take advantage of Al Qaeda's mistakes? Yes. Did the surge help by implementing a better counter-insurgency strategy and sending more men? All agree that it did.

Silly conclusion. I think you are the one who needs to be a little more nuanced.
