I think it has something to do with a soldier's perception of leadership.

Whaddaya mean? Truman had the guts to drop the Bomb on those slants, and saved a bunch of GIs. He was a good feller.
(Your ability to see every situation as yet another way in which Bush bestrides the world like a Colossus is getting to be a little too cute.)
I will go on record saying that what the American soldier said was neither bad nor wrong, but it was a missed opportunity to credit the supposedly international effort to subdue post-war Iraq and find SH. I believe it also demeans the purpose of our being there. But, I'm sure it was fun to say, esp. if the soldier is a Bush voter.
