I recently brought to our readers' attention that the Democrats would soon be feverishly attempting to lay claim to the Troop Surge victories and the victory in Iraq in general, counting on their abject foolish following not to remember that at one point in time - actually forty five times - the Democrats were actively trying to lose the war theater in Iraq for political power. It didn't then nor does it matter now how many men in women on either side of the war front gets killed, maimed, wounded or just come up missing.
