Doesn't the usual call of "quagmire" refer to the military situation rather than the political one? I mean, it's often mentioned along with a Vietnam comparison, a military reference.
And your classification of Democrats at the end ..

again is a slur on their military proposals.
Do you mean "quagmire" militarily or poltically? |
I think it is universally accepted that it was the politicians, not military defeat, which ended the Viet Nam conflict. The same cut and run ilk which is displayed by democrats today. Also the comparison ibtwn Iraq and Viet Nam is not legitimate. Unless you would like to talk about JFK's role?
