Way to miss my point.
You say it's not a quagmire, and provide figures on the political situation.
Usually "quagmire" is used to describe an intractable
military situation.
Your characterisation of Democrats was a slur on their
military proposals for Iraq.
I never claimed the comparison was authentic, I used it to show how the word quagmire is taken to describe a military situation. I don't want to talk about Vietnam.
