That being, changing the complexion of the Supreme Court reversing laws they disagree with, enacting laws they want and gaining a foothold in the Middle East to preserve the world economy which is so dependent upon the oil located there.
This war has been politically driven from the beginning, and there is no doubt the Democrats are politicizing it as well. Such is the nature of our world, one does not obtain power in America by armed revolution, it’s done so by political means.

What did bush do wrong in iraq? What did the democrats propose before he made these actions. The answer is nothing! If anything staying the course was in no way shape or form a political gain for the republicans! Winning the war is the presedents objective. it is the liberals who campain agensts the chances of winning without a proposal of victory. This politicaly driven war you speak of started with the support of democrats and republicans. No troops die as a result of republican support for the war. No enemy is praying to allah for the republicans to get elected to office. It is the exact opposite. The liberals are praised by the terrorists not the republicans! You say you dont think that the media in iraq is over exagerated? I know it is. I served in the capitol of the al anbar provence and i have seen nothing to the likes of what is reported in the news. Nor has my fellow marines who have served all over iraq. The liberals will not support any plan for this war and they will put all their chips in the failure section of the roulett table. They have no plan yet they critisize bushes plan. There is nothing that a liberal has done to improve the situation in iraq. However they have managed to give a sence of victory to our enemys!
