Will leftists now embrace Bush?

Will leftists now embrace Bush? I ask because for a few years now they've been calling him a chicken-hawk and implying that people with no combat experience have no right to make decisions of war. Today the President said this:
"People don't want me making decisions based on politics," Bush said. "They want me making decisions based on the recommendations of our generals on the ground. And that's exactly who I'll be listening to."
Well, there it is. The President is listening to you by listening to his Generals. Unfortunately for anti-war leftists, the boots on the ground want to see this thing through because they believe in the mission. So if the President is basing his decisions on the opinions of professional soldiers, does that mean the anti-war left will begrudgingly fall into line with their President?

Note: All of the questions are rhetorical. The answer to each is no. It is no because no one has politicized Iraq more than the anti-war left.
