Bushco® is making much of how Congress confirmed General Petraeus but disapprove the surge.

But it's not the general that sets policy, Bush does. The confirmation merely means that the general is capable of commanding efforts in Iraq.

Here's an eye opening article by William Arkin at the Washington Post.
