Bush had a bad habit of NOT listening to the military leaders...you know, the generals who are actually there?

Actually, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld rejected the advice of many military Generals (like Shinseki and Franks) when crafting their plan for the invasion of Iraq.

This is an interesting timeline of the war:

Bush Sr. himself has been quoted on this. There definitely was discussion of going into Iraq and taking out Saddam, but President Bush eventually rejected the idea.

Here is an article from Time Magazine in 1998 written by Bush and Scowcroft that details the issues that went into their decisions regarding the Gulf War and Iraq:
