The key here is the libs don't believe this is a time of war. It's everything from a police action to "Bush's War". Not a real war that has real impacts for most of them in their enclaves, their Ivory Towers, and in east and west coast isolation from the rest of the country and the real world. Therefore its business as usual for them, do whatever, say whatever, in an attempt to regain power. US Military loses in Iraq or Afghanistan? Unfortunate but blame Bush not the insurgents who are bravely defending themselves against American occupation (Some of the more radical ones probably secretly hope for more US deaths as a way to get more Code Pink/ANSWER activists to demonstrate against the war; they wish for the same success Kerry did in the early 70's). Al-Qaeda? A small group of fanatics who are being pushed into more fanatical acts of terror by the US and our war to gain control of Middle East oil. Etc., etc., etc. Because we aren't in a real war, everything we libs do to harm Bush and the administration (NSA leaks, media's negative stories from Iraq, etc.) is perfectly fine with them and their press enablers.
