Win, Lose, or Draw

The Democrats and their continuing investment in defeat in Iraq, along with GOP support of the surge, were showcased in a story on remarks by Sen. Harry Reid reported in the New York Times. Reid continued the "no chance for victory" theme that has become the Democrats' mantra. The Times also reported the outrage felt by some Republicans in Congress who believe the Democrats are hurting troop morale.

Victor Davis Hanson chimed in on the topic with a short post in National Review Online. Hanson simply can't understand how Reid and the Democrats can declare the surge a failure when the full surge has not yet been implemented.

I guess he simply can't bring himself to accept the obvious: the Democrats would prefer a political victory over George Bush and the GOP to a military victory over al-Qaeda in Iraq.
