What then, is your quibble with them.

No. I don't think they are a mess. I certainly don't think they are optimal either, and the Administration has some blame for that, but nothing like this is expected to go of as expected of planned. There is a lot of bad news coming out of Iraq, but IMHO, the good far outweighs the bad.
My quibble is that, in a time of war, instead of critisizing the president's every move (and for some, almost celebrating every misjudgement), they should be offering support. This is not to say that there shouldn't be honest policy objections, but the manner in which they are voiced should be far different than today. Comparing the president to Hitler, saying that the war was hatched in Texas for political purposes, comparing him to a Nazi, demeaning our allies, etc. How can anyone take a party like that seriously. And (to anticipate Ty) it is not just the wingnuts. It is the leaders and nearly all of the DEM presidential nominees, except for Lieberman, who to me is a responsble politician (with the exception of when he had to whore for gore in the 2000 election).
This would not be happening to Roosevelt in 1943.
