I wouldn't be so hopeful about winning the war if the battle for Iraq were lost. While it's true that we still won the cold war after losing Vietnam (with the help of the MSM), I'd be quite discouraged about this war's progress after a MSM-inspired defeat in Iraq that could lead to lots of nasty scenarios. The main difference between a premature exit from Vietnam and one from Iraq is that the Islamofascists will pursue.
This is just politics before the election. They'll shut their trap after it. Doesn't come at a good time though. They could at least understand what's going on over here.

I wouldn't either, but we're not actually losing (hence the quotes around 'lose the battle'). The media will try and portray, for domestic political purposes, that the Democrats demanded a withdrawl, we withdrew, ergo, the Democrats won.
Let them think that all they want. History will prove them wrong.
The real battle is for Iraq's future, not to maintain the U.S. occupation indefinitely. The Democrats can pretend that once we pull out, we lose, but that's not the case. We win or lose defined by the success of the Iraqi government to function as a moderate republic. The Democrats are opposing what they percieve our victory conditions to be, not our real ones.
