The War Is Lost!
(“I plead allegiance to myself and the United Egos of Democrats and to this aristocracy for which it stands, one nation, under liberals, indivisible, for diversity and hired justices for all.”)
Hot off the Drudge Report is Senator Reid’s declaration. The war “is lost”! Gosh, these anti-war advocates would just love to repeat Vietnam over again. Ah, the glory days when they peaceniks stood up against the establishment and won. But wait, the peaceniks are the establishment!
The war in Iraq “is lost” and a US troop surge is failing to bring peace to the country, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Congress, Harry Reid, said Thursday.
“I believe … that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week,” Reid told journalists.
Reid said he had delivered the same message to US President George W. Bush on Wednesday, when the US president met with senior lawmakers to discuss how to end a standoff over an emergency war funding bill.
“I know I was the odd guy out at the White House, but I told him at least what he needed to hear … I believe the war at this stage can only be won diplomatically, politically and economically.”
And to think he’s my senator. I already wrote him an email describing my displeasure and DARING him to cut off funding if he is SO sure the war is truly lost.
