I think Wes Pruden puts it pretty well:

The president's tormentors in Congress, some old and some new, insist they don't have anything against the fine young Americans with their lives on the line in Iraq, but the troops are dispensable to the larger partisan goal of destroying George W. and abdicating the responsibility that comes with being the world's only superpower. If the troops are hurt, too, well, that's just a risk the critics will have to endure.

Bullseye.

Any support the Liberals have for the troops is in the form of portraying them as victims of a "warmonger" president.
