WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid today issued the following statement on reports that the Bush Administration is drafting a timetable for the Iraqi government to address sectarian divisions and to assume a larger role in securing the country.
"The apparent decision by the Bush Administration to draft a timetable for the Iraqis to assume a larger role in securing their country hopefully demonstrates the long-overdue recognition by the President that his strategy is a failure and that a change in course is needed.
"Given that this action comes just two weeks before the midterm elections, it appears the Administration is driven as much by the hope of heading off election-year defeats here at home as by ending the escalating violence in Iraq. Regardless, if this new course is to be effective, the plan must contain benchmarks tied directly to the drawdown of U.S. troops. All other measurements are of secondary importance.

Reid: "PARTY TIME!!!!"
Has this RAT been in a cave? Wasn't that ALWAYS Bush's plan from the get-go? I swear these RATS just make up history as they go along!
Dingy Harry pontificates again. Such a weenie.
Like Harry's disclosure policy?
He's as bad with logic as he is with math.
apparently Reid doesn't understand the difference between policy and tactics and is betting on the sheeple to not understand the difference either.
OH HE SAID NO SUCH THING!!!
Dirty reed is drinking the dirty water again....
Dingy, the President is not a crook, which is more than I can say for you.
Man, i hate that jerk!
Shouldn't he be out conducting a land deal somewhere instead of pontificating on things he knows nothing about?
Reid is an enemy of the United States.
Harry, I think he was talking about our country's enemy and you assumed he was talking about enemies in Iraq. You silly fool, he was talking about the enemy here: YOU and the other weenie liberals.
P.S. Why have you not resigned crook?
Reid is a corrupt gasbag, now what fools would put the word,
"Leader" in front of his name?
Harry.... RESIGN and get a little crediblity.. you're a crook in Nevada AND Washington D.C...
I distinctly remember we were close to losing World War II in the Pacific until we shifted strategy.
You'd think that changing an offensive posture was something no one has ever done in the history of the world.
