Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani called Democrats "the party of losers" for demanding a scheduled pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq.Link.
"Democrats have already declared we've lost," the former New York mayor said during a campaign stop in Texas.

"I'm for victory," Giuliani said. Democrats, he added, are "living in a world where they refuse to admit the existence of Islamic terrorism."
The amazing thing about the Iraq fandango is that it's such a litmus test. It is so wrong what we did in invading and the follow-up has been really breath-takingly inept. The cluelessness shown by our leaders is mind-boggling, both in invading in the first place and then in all the post-invasion aspects. Our leaders have absolutely no clue about the Middle East or Iraq.
Th question of the moment then involves the vox populi: Are all of us sick of the war because it's taking so long to resolve (actually, it'll take generations unless, um, we install a dictator that can control the place -- like our ex-BFF, Saddam) or because it's just so damn wrong?
So when someone running for office brainlessly parrots our leaders' dementia, or in Perfect Rudy's case, gives the hopped up version of the party line, well, it's scary....
