Woodward: Bush 'too often failed to lead' on Iraq, troop surge only 1 factor in violence drop

The overall summary of a news article about a new book that came out which talks about why Bush isn't handing the war in Iraq very properly. They say that he is slow to react to the escalating violence in the country, But they say once Bush decided that thousands of additional troops were needed, he moved with focus and determination even though top military advisers resisted him.
The class connection to this article would be that the enlightenment has something to do with the "War on Terrorism". When 9/11 hit the u.s went into shock and what the government came up with was a war. Thomas Hobbes thought that people should rely on their strengths to protect their personal life, liberty, and property, so wouldn't going into Iraq to stir up violence or using "strength" be Thomas Hobbes philosophy?
My personal connection would be that we hear about the war all the time. In this years 2008 elections the presidential candidates want to do something different about this war and it relates back to us because our parents vote for them. Is Thomas Hobbes philosophy really the right way to handle things?
