I get tired of reading the same stuff in this column day after day. Is it any wonder that Republicans think that the left wants us to fail in Iraq, when all you ever see is attempt after attempt to draw absolutely anything that could conceivably be interpreted as negative out of the news concerning Iraq? We get it already. George Bush is a colossal idiot who screwed our country and our reputation in the world. Agreed. The war has been handled atrociously. Yes, we understand this. But come on. Can we just lay off the "gotchas" for a minute?
Ultimately, shouldn't we *want* us to succeed in Iraq, no matter who takes credit for it? People's lives are infinitely more important than scoring a few stupid political points.
