All politicians are guilty of trying to hedge their bets when they can get away with it.
But the rhetoric employed by the Dems has consistently rested on US failure and defeat because it plays well to their leftist base, who have bet their entire ideology on America's defeat and humilitation.
The Democrat's dilemma is that they can't possibly win an election with only that base, so they have to pander to the patriotic Americans just enough not to alienate them completely.
Clearly, from their perspective, it would be best if America surrendered and admitted defeat. That would be the best possible outcome.
They could keep their lunatic anti-American, anti-Bush, base; and win over those disgusted that the Republicans and Bush managed to lose a war and sacrifice American lives for nothing.
But, oh dear. What if things turn around?
