The Dem-Libs have made the choice that it is better for them if we leave Iraq with our tails between our legs because they would gain power. Conversely, it is bad for them if we stay in Iraq, institute a democratic government and leave as heroes. That would cause them to lose power. All of their BS is a rancid power grab.

The difference between Vietnam and Islamic terror, is that the Red Vietnamese never killed Americans on our soil, and they also showed no signs of wanting to cover the USA to communism. This one is a fight to the death, of our society, or their fanaticism. Unfortunately fanaticism must be cut out and cauterized. I see no evidence we are prepared to do anything like that on any scale. However the basic strategy we started with seems viable. Establish enclaves in the Middle East, then hunt them on their ground rather than ours.
