Vercingetorix VII
(Some) Democrats were definitely hoping for failure in Iraq and Afghanistan. But that goes back to the whole anti-war ideology, the belief that violence is never an acceptable answer.
Just because the other side said it 24/7 doesn't make it true. If you're going to blame anti-war protesters who wanted the troops home and didn't pay lip service to Bush as actively hoping more troops die, then your statement is clearly partisan.
I never said they wanted more troops to die. They wanted less troops to die, but their method of doing this was to abandon the missions.
It's a tradeoff. I knew people when I was in the Army who were on both sides of the issue.
