At the start David says Bush is associated with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; I would take that a step further and point out that the Republicans have clearly been making an effort to associate Obama with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan- particularly Afghanistan. It really seems as though they're trying to make Afghanistan Obama's war- despite the fact that it began 7 years before he took office. Trotting out W at their convention would have made it much harder to keep that fact in the memory hole.
