From a Washington Post video interview yesterday with the Democrats' Number Three man in the House...

Reporter: "What if Gen. Petraeus comes back in September and says, 'This [surge] is working very, very well at this point. We would be foolish to back away at this point.'"

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), Democratic Majority Whip: "That would be a real big problem for us, no question about that."

Do the Democrats really want to position themselves so that a victory for America is a tragedy for their party?
