You gave it a nice focus and I have to agree with you: "This is the difference between being at war, and being “at war.” In the first case, the people hope we win. In the second, some hope you lose." It's obvious to me that much of the liberal left have only the second case in mind. Lex,

Let's call them "Pissantium", as in the last days of the Byzantine Empire. All the ingredients are there: endless intrigue, willful denial, refusal to face the fact that the world around them has changed, and fewer and fewer folks believe them anymore. Pissantium: An ungrateful sheltered elite incapable of doing more than mocking those who actually defend them against the real world, claiming we are insufficiently "nuanced" to understand it without their guidance and wisdom. Their minds are made up, and any new facts will not confuse them. There are that full of themselves. So when we see the next predictable Pissantine pronouncement of failure in the MSM, can we just shrug and get on with the hard slogging business of Victory? I mean... whaddya expect from pissants? Skipper,
