 Yes it is in the interest of the Administration to paint them in a good light and for the Dems to paint them in a bad light.  But it is in the political interest of the administration for things to go well in Iraq, where it is in the political interest of the Dems that things go bad in Iraq.  That is why you can't trust the Democrats to run things better.  
If the Democrats were screaming that we were not giving the Pentagon what it needed and the Generals should be allowed to win then a Dem takeover might be a good thing.  But they are not the party of winning.  they are the party of this is a bad war and we need to get out as soon as possible.
