""Her editors back on the East Coast were giggling, she said, over what a disaster Iraq had turned out to be. 'Lots of us talk about how awful it would be if this worked out.'" "Startled by her candor," said Herndon, "I asked whether thousands more dead Iraqis would be a good thing." The British journalist said, "She nodded and mumbled something about Bush needing to go."

Disgusting. Reverse the rolls and this would be as if the American right were rooting for our Iranian hostage rescue attempt to fail in order to remove President Carter.

...And it is safe to say that no American Journalist, no...no American at all, on any side of the spectrum said any such thing back then.

Because wishing for an American military *defeat* in order to overthrow an American President is tantamount to treason.

That's not democracy. That's not how a Republic works.

The American left is treading on thin ice here.
