That's what the red anti-US sovereignity types wanted to see- they hope for it. They must really have been disappointed when we didn't send the whole freakin US Army into Afghanistan, Russian-style. And then that speedy invasion of Iraq- we were supposed to be bogged down in a seige war south of Baghdad, where they and the world press could have more time to fire up their dreamed-of mass protests with draft-shocked youngsters like they did in Vietnam.
Yep, the left actively (but covertly) does all they can to ensure American defeeat and humiliation.
