I seriously doubt that anyone 'wants it to fail' or is rooting for failure. Then again, i don't think that throwing more money or troops at the problem is any guarantee of success.

I don't. Not for the reasons you think, either. The insurgents come to mind right off. Our failure is a victory for them. Throwing more money and troops may not guarantee success, but cutting money and removing troops guarantees failure. I've said from the beginning, before this became a debacle, that we should have doubled our number of troops. Instead, we let bean-counters and media pundits run the war, and the result is what we have now. If you notice, you hardly hear a word about Afghanistan anymore. Know why? Nobody is protesting Afghanistan, so there is no news value there. There was in the beginning, but...as the tail wags the dog...the reporting there was abandoned over media interest. Nobody likes to hear about the good guy winning...

Ya wanna hear about protesting against Afghanistan..cross the border northwards. You'll hear some shortly thereafter...but it won't make the news..not because it's not important, but because of the scale...and you won't hear about it on your end because there just aren't as many American troops in Afghan country than in Iraq.
Afghanistan is only a success in comparison to Iraq - it's still a LOG way off from a fait accompli. Its what happens when you try and take a group of people who think along religious boundaries and try and make them think along regional boundaries - where democracy really works.

Nope the administration ran the war into the ground and has downplayed Afghanistan as soon as they got their sights set on Iraq. That's why there's WAY more troops, money spent, and attention on the Iraq farce.

Look at you advocating what you accuse the liberals of doing...Gonz said:
Apparently it's the right (you) that doesn't want both sides presented.
The left using reason to examine the farce did not make it a farce. It was a farce from the start. The left also did not elect incompetence into the white house.
Look for a scapegoat all you want but we all know where the buck stops.
When has the right attacked a leftist, physically? We'll be glad to listen to their meanderings before shooting them down, metaphorically.
As can be clearly shown from stories I've put in the RW for several years now...the left gets violent more often & attempts to stop free speech far more often than the right.
The Christian right wants mnoral authority over music & TV, not public speaking events. (btw-they're morons too)

You're hand picked stories only show your personal bias not any real trends.
Hell, I just post a story about Gingrich wanting to limit free speech, the MPAA is a conservative group, and in the Free Speech Movement who was on which side?
