The United States is in the middle of a war and most Democrats unfortunately are doing everything they can to hinder the war. Its this resistence that the insurgents in Iraq and Al Quada are looking for. They do not possess the strength to defeat the US military in combat. What they can do is increase the cost for the United States and hope that this cost impacts political events within the country to a degree that they can force the United States to withdraw before it has accomplished its mission. Their victory gauge for them is the level of protest across the country as well as any other type of political opposition to the current policy which could result in their ultimate goal of a pre-mature US military withdrawal without having accomplished its goals.
I think Bush did a pretty good job of hindering this war himself when he pre-maturely entered into a war with almost no occupation plan. That is what's killing this war, shitty planning.
And your insurgents driving up the cost of war theory is hilarious, but it's a great fear device to make those protesters feel guilty.
The insurgency didn't go into a war thinking we can't win this but we can drive their costs up. Hey look, they're protesting, our plan is working!!!
If they were working with this type of strategy, knowing they couldn't win. They would have allowed us to topple Saddam, allow an effortless and quick rebuilding and once our presence was gone take over Iraq. This process would allow for much less rebuilding on their part.
