Drumbeats from the failure lobby
Mona Charan:
"There is a marked tendency among those on the left to believe the worst about the United States. This is particularly true when it comes to military action.
"...the Saddamists and Islamists who have gathered in Iraq to defeat us are not acting irrationally. They have historical reasons to believe that if they can inflict enough casualties on the United States, we will run. They cite Somalia, Lebanon and Vietnam.
"What we are doing in Iraq is right morally and strategically. And it is succeeding on the ground. But the press has the power to distort reality. By presenting an overly bleak picture of the challenges we face, they can demoralize us."
The left is attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in order to validate their wrong prewar assumptions.
