The vile spectacle of Democrats rooting for bad news in Iraq and Afghanistan

Why does it take an admitted lefty like Christopher Hitchens to spell out to the democrats what we on the right have been saying all along?

"What will it take to convince these people that this is not a year, or a time, to be dicking around? . . . How can the Democrats possibly have gotten themselves into a position where they even suspect that a victory for the Zarqawi or Bin Laden forces would in some way be welcome to them? Or that the capture or killing of Bin Laden would not be something to celebrate with a whole heart?"

Maybe Chris, because they care more about power and their party than their country? Hat tip to Instapundit.
