Stab-in-the-back myth development alert

A reader writes into the NRO lamenting the way this election season is unfolding:

A President Edwards, or Obama, or Clinton, combined with a Democratic Congress, would surely mean ruin for Iraq and woe here at home. [Italics added.]

Woe for Republicans I can see, but the notion that a Democratic administration would mean ruin for Iraq is hallucinatory.

Yeah, buddy, things have been just outstanding for Iraq under a GOP President and Congress. Outstanding, I tell you!
