Bush I's fear (from his biography): that America would get bogged down as "an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land," facing a possibly "barren" outcome in Iraq.

Warnings that were also echoed by Brent Scowcroft and Colin Powell....

So, I wouldn't blame the possibility of a "barren" outcome on "leftists"... at least, not when so many Republicans, experienced in Middle Eastern politics, expressed clear warnings well in advance.
