What a load of conservative tripe! Yes, because the invasion of normandy is equivalent to invading Iraq.
Geez.

"While there were indeed 10,000 casualties on June 6th, the number of soldiers that made it safely to shore was 156,000. The actual amount of casualties was far less than predicted"
Contrast that to the predictions of a war (Iraq) that would last 6 days, 6 weeks, doubtful 6 months and one that could fund itself and in which the attacking army would be greeted as liberators...
and
"The General was indeed prepared to take full responsibility and blame had the landings failed"
With a President who will never accept responsibility. Ever!

BTW. Didn't some of the media at the time question the strategies of the president and the generals?
There were plenty of political comics in the past that were much more critical of their presidents than the current media is of our's.
