I thought you werent either
Maybe I'm wrong.
Your scenario - Iraqi war starts going pear-shaped.
Heavens to Betsy! You claim the Dems will start blaming Bush!
Well, Duh!!!! He is CINC isn't he? The Dems (those with some principles) have been telling him it will go wrong, and if it does they will have every bloody right to say "Told you so".
But too claim that, even on the inside, an American Democrat (party or not) will be joyful because US soldiers are being killed is offensive, untrue and just plain obnoxious.
Did I make myself clear this time?

P.S. When TBW had a political misfortune, I cheered openly. When soldiers came home in pieces from the Falklands I cried. The problem with you is you think it's all one or the other.
