"War in Iraq lost": US Democrat leader (Reid)
AFP ^ | April 19, 2007

Posted on 04/19/2007 11:08:17 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

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 said, on the same day US President George W. Bush was giving a speech at an Ohio town hall meeting defending the war on terror.

YOUR ACTION REQUESTED BY SOME TROOPS IN IRAQ: Please spread the word about an appeal for redress that people in the military can sign to show support for the mission. They are having problems getting the word out:


www.appealforcourage.org

If you haven't seen this yet: A campaign by active-duty troops asking Congress to drop plans for a withdrawal from Iraq. Lt. Jason Nichols, a 33-year-old naval projects officer who has been in Baghdad since mid-January, said the goal is to keep lawmakers focused on letting the military finish its mission in Iraq, and not prematurely declare failure

Harry Reid and his Democratic cohorts in Congress are doing everything short of taking up arms against America to make certain America loses in Iraq.

Reid: War in Europe is lost. Battle of the Bulge proves that Germany is unbeatable. Maybe if we get good surrender terms the 101st Airborne Division will be released from POW camps by 1950.

Typical America-hating, Commie Dem. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. If and when we are successful in Iraq the Democrat Party could self-destruct. They can’t afford a U.S. victory.

"this war is lost"

Reid's engaging in some serious wishful thinking. There's no doubt he and most of his Democrat cohorts would like nothing better than for America to lose. That attitude would immediately change, however, if a Democrat got elected President in '08.

You know, Mr. Reid said during a broadcast interview last year that he was a pessimist. He was right.

Too bad we can’t get a big, steaming, hot cup of STFU to Mr. Reid this afternoon.

MSM reports earlier this week kicked off this offensive - Reid’s remarks are right on schedule. The Sunni terrorists must be very pleased. They are losing Baghdad, but a few truck bombs will get the MSM and Dims to claim the opposite.

Reid is a dirty traitor! His public comments are for NO OTHER REASON than for partisan gain, and to DIRECTLY assist the enemies of the United States. He should be tried for treason. I cannot believe these ANTI-AMERICAN Democrats.

Will any Republican -ANYWHERE - stand up to be counted and call these traitors on this? How many lives will be scarified by the newly emboldened enemy?

Remember back in 1999 or 2000 when candidate Bush made some remarks about the economy and the Democrats went bezerk, saying he was “talking down the economy?”

Why is this different?

He may be premature, but it does look like we are going to lose this one. Of course he is one of the primary reasons we will lose. That and all of the PC keeping the troops from doing their job.

And that is why the are so pessimistic. Keep on telling the sheeple we are losing with the hopes of them gaining back the White House in '08.

How can this corrupt little sh!theel claim to “support the troops” when he is publicly announcing that the cause for which they are fighting is hopeless? If a Senator - any Senator - did this during WWII, he would have been impeached, but only after having been tarred, feathered and run out of state tied to a mule.

Elections have consequences. To anyone that stayed home in Nov 2006 elections, voted third party or voted donk thank you dumbasses! If we lose in Iraq and Al Qaeda follows us here to kill more Americans like on 911, you have NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELVES. If this happens, may your friends and family be killed and not mine. Many of us saw the dangers of “punishing the GOP” and stated it but some did not listen.

"War in Iraq lost": US Democrat leader (Reid)

Helping the enemy is an impeachable offense. It is treason.

Is there a way that a senator or a congressman can be impeached by their employers, namely the people? If not there ought to be.

NO! They are enjoying the alleged 40% poll (spit) favorability and do not want to jeopardize that.

FACT: This came straight from the mouth of the intern in Mike Pence's office.

By the Democrats definition, the only this war could possibly be won is for the US to round-up and kill all the Sunni Muslims. That would leave a peaceful Shite state in Iraq, controlled by Iran.

Voila, peace....

I keep seeing you on all of these threads.

I am also seeing many freepers that are starting to closely echo the dems..

I would like to think that we are made of sterner stuff...and that the folks on this site would give Petraeus the time to get his plan in place.

He hasn’t even gotten all of his troops that he requested in Baghdad yet.

BUT, I will say that Petraeus WARNED Harry Reid and Americans that the terrorists would do what they have done the last couple of days...

It is up to US to recognize what is going on ...and NOT be swayed by terrorist and dem propaganda.
