The liberal blogosphere reaction to the editorial in the NYT that said the surge is working and we can win in Iraq has been to try and tar the left-leaning authors rather than try and refute any of its points which gives you an idea of how devastating this is to them. Americans can forgive someone for being for victory and failing, but they aren't going to treat someone who was for failure in the face of victory very kindly. Right now, things are looking good for the Democrats in 2008, but a victory in Iraq would be devastating for them after all their attempts to cut funding and call for immediate withdrawal. It would make the next election look like a choice between Thomas Jefferson and a caveman who was against the adoption of fire.

JEFFERSON: I will help our country flourish and spread democracy to new lands.

CAVEMEN: Fire is angry god. Thag no like.

Well, let's keep praying that we can find peace in Iraq and there aren't more bombing in which our troops or civilians get hurt. And the Democrats can burn incense to their pagan gods that their will be more blood and death as that will prove their political point (hey, it's the position they unintentionally put themselves in, the stupid bastards).
