Losing In Iraq?

The MSM is potraying the situation in Iraq poorly and the American public has responded by becoming more gloomy on the situation there and have held President Bush to account as indicated by his poor popularity polling. However, if it was so bad there, then how come...

American soldiers are also much more optimistic than American civilians. The Pew Research Center and the Council on Foreign Relations just released a survey of American elites that found that 64% of military officers are confident that we will succeed in establishing a stable democracy in Iraq. The comparable figures for journalists and academics are 33% and 27%, respectively.

Why is there such a large difference in these numbers. Probably, because the soldiers want to us to win in Iraq and the press and the liberal academics want us to lose. Why theses leftists desire the US to lose is one question that we should be asking them? We know why soldiers want us to win, because its their job to do so.
