Invested in Failure

There was not a single civilian or military casualty in Iraq’s Anbar Province last week. This seems like a big milestone. It has not been reported in the NYT’s or NBC or any of the other liberal media outlets. Amazing, but it makes sense. If the situation continues to improve in Iraq it will hurt the chances for a Democratic administration.

I just watched a video of a couple of Democratic Congressmen being interviewed prior to the Petreaus hearings. The interviewer asked the Congressmen what would it mean if General Petreaus was able to testify in September that the security situation was improving? The Congressmen responded, “That would be a big problem for us.”

The Democrats are so invested in failure they don’t know how to react when we succeed.
