Democrats Hope for the Worst

It should come as no suprise that the party who elects Howard Dean as Chairman ("I hate Republicans and everything they stand for") would have a cadre of party faithful who hope for the worst in America's effort to bring peace and freedom to the Middle East. It used to be that politics stopped at the water's edge... No more!

Here's a few quotes from a transcript of a "Daily Show" interview with former Clinton aide Nancy Soderberg as reported by OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today. Host Jon Stewart is asking about how Soderberg feels about how recent events in Iraq and Lebanon might impact U.S. politics:

Soderberg: Well, I think, you know, as a Democrat, you don't want anything nice to happen to the Republicans, and you don't want them to have progress.
...
Soderberg: It's scary for Democrats, I have to say.

Stewart: He's gonna be a great--pretty soon, Republicans are gonna be like, "Reagan was nothing compared to this guy." Like, my kid's gonna go to a high school named after him, I just know it.

Soderberg: Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's hope for the rest of us.
...
Soderberg: There's always hope that this might not work.

Yes, Democrats are left hoping that either Iran or North Korea will start some trouble or worse... Isn't that pathetically sad? And while we are on the subject of North Korea... wasn't it the Clinton Adminstration that went over there in the 90's and promised them anything if they would just behave??? And it was this same Soderberg woman who was #3 in the Clinton National Security Council and worked at the heart of that Adminstration during it's malfeasance in the conduct of foreign policy.

And of course you know that if Kerry were elected... she'd be right back in there making as big a mess of things now as she, Clinton and Albright did then.
