I think liberals are anxious to see the US fail because of their extreme hatred of GWB. They hope anything he does will fail, regardless of the consquences. If it means we lose American lives, oh well. At least Dubya's plan didn't work out and it made him look bad. 
I seriously wonder how some liberals would react if GWB were to express his opposition to stomping on puppies.

HAHAHA! Man, you should read over the old posts as a lot has been said on the subject. My take: reducing your opponents to caricatures is harmful to the political dialogue and processes of this country. Also, the entire "traitor liberal" meme is a dangerous idea that seems to be taking hold, a la this thread. It only takes a casual student of history to see the dark repercussions that are created when one begins to demonize their enemy.
I don't see how you can say that the political opponents of Dubya don't care for the lives of soldiers...if anything, IMHO those opposed to the war consider the sacrifice of soldier's lives as needless and obscene.
I don't hate Dubya, but I do not like him, either, nor should I be forced to like him. It may make it easier for one to justify their beliefs if they think of their enemies as raving, irrational hate mongers, but it doesn't make it accurate.
