. . .they want the defeat to go down in history on the shoulders of a Republican, just like how they blamed Nixon because the troops came home under his watch even though it was LBJ who screwed up Vietnam.

They've already assigned historical fault and are now in the process of inculcating it into the public mind:

. . . the same Washington game . . .

It’s a game where the only way for Democrats to look tough on national security is by talking, and acting and voting like Bush-McCain Republicans, while our troops are sent to fight tour after tour of duty in a war that should’ve never been authorized and should’ve never been waged. That’s what happens when we use 9/11 to scare up votes, and that’s why we need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war.

That’s the choice in this primary. It’s about whether we choose to play the game, or whether we choose to end it; it’s change that polls well, or change we can believe in; it’s the past versus the future. And when I’m the Democratic nominee for President – that will be the choice in November. -- Senator Obama's Victory Speech in Madison, WI

Any idiots who think the liberals don't want responsibility for losing Iraq, either didn't live through Vietnam, or Iran under Carter, or they weren't paying attention.

The liberals will kick away the dead allies, the dead Americans, the advance of our enemies, like it was so much dirt off their shoe. They could care less.
