kids, this question isn't about going into Iraq, is about why do so many Americans want the US to fail in Iraq so they can say "Told you so"

Yes!!! Then they could finally prove that Bush did something wrong!!!! Funny how people blame the war on oil and yet refuse to let oil companies drill in Alaska!!! War for oil now that is hilarious!!

Had the decider listened to General Shinseki in 2002 we might have left Iraq a better place but the decider decided not to listen to CENTCOM and he refused to read the multiple papers written about an invasion of Iraq. Read the Generals War it was written after the first Gulf War and stop listening to Limbaugh for your information.
Arbusto or the Bush lost this war so blame him and it is our military that is saying “I told you so” because they knew it would take 500,000 troops.

Because everyday the US is in Iraq more terrorists (more future Bin Laden's) are being created. In fact if the US got out of Iraq ASAP the Iraqi Shiites/Kurds would wipe the Iraqi insurgents/terrorists off the face of the earth. But for some reason Bush doesn't want the Shiites/kurds getting the credit for winning the war, & the war on terror, in Iraq. I wonder why?

I've wondered this very question myself.
How can elected officials- during a time of war- say the things that some on the left have?
The way Kennedy, Kerry, Murtha, and Durbin have knee-capped Bush is tantamount to treason.
It indeed seems that they would see America fail in order to regain power.
Despicable.

There is great satisfaction in saying I told you so.

Yeah, that's how perverse some of these loonies are. They'd hope for another catastrophic attack on American soil just so they could point their snot-picking fingers at George Bush and tell you how great it would have been if only Woodchuck Al Gore had not been cheated out of his presidency.

Another straw-man argument.
Americans don't WANT our policy to fail to say "I told you so." Americans say "I told you so" BECAUSE the policies have been failures of historical, or even biblical proporations.
And they say "I told you so" because they DID, and those who supported this half-a$$ed policy resort to impugning the loyalty of anyone who questioned, smugly told them to shut up and arrogantly predicted how they would be vindicated.
They continue to say "I told you so" because the supporters stubbornly cling to their denial.
Why do a small core of Americans WANT US troops to die by the thousands so they won't have to admit their being wrong?

Because many Americans are naive, misinformed, and misguided fools.

I think it is more that fear one gets when they must face the realization of how much is at stake if one is wrong.
It is easier to cope in denial than to face that fear and do the next thing, right or wrong.
