Thursday, June 14, 2007 RNC Chairman Responds to Harry Reid Calling Military Leaders "Incompetent"

WASHINGTON – RNC Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement today in response to Harry Reid’s recent comments on American military leaders:

“Harry Reid doesn’t understand that there are some lines you just don’t cross. There is room for him to express reasonable disagreement about our path forward in Iraq. But to attack our military is unacceptable. To attack General Petraeus, the man actually leading our troops on the ground, is reprehensible. And to call the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, someone who has served our nation for his entire adult life with honor and distinction, ‘incompetent’ is beyond the pale. Harry Reid once said ‘This war is lost.’ What he’s really lost, apparently, is any semblance of respect he might have once had for the best and bravest armed forces in the world.”

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Called Marine Gen. Peter Pace, The Outgoing Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff, ‘Incompetent’ During An Interview … With A Group Of Liberal Bloggers…” (John Bresnahan, “Reid Labels Military Leader 'Incompetent’,” The Politico, 6/14/07)

* “Reid Made Similar Disparaging Remarks About Army Gen. David Petraeus, The Top U.S. Commander In Iraq…”(John Bresnahan, “Reid Labels Military Leader 'Incompetent’,” The Politico, 6/14/07)

Good comment by the RNC. Every GOP candidate, Senator and Represenatitve should beat on this. Don’t let Reid get away with it.

This from the man with an approval rating of 19%. I bet his poll ratings in Nevada are not so hot either. He will never be reelected. He is a national disgrace.

Dirt Bag Reid needs to get off the moonbat parade and go home. He has worn out his welcome too often. He should apologize and resign as Majority Leader for his disparaging remarks.

If there was any doubt for what Dems think of our military (I still am pissed about Mrs Bill Clinton ordering White House military attaches to act as bus boys), this should clear things up.

Words escape me, and reid qualifies for leadership by just being in office a long time.

Every RNC office holder that’s not standing, pointing at the DNC leadership and screaming TRAITOR!! in the loudest possible voice and doing everything humanly possible to see those traitors brought to justice is just another worthless quisling.

Dingy Harry suffers from terminal diarrhea of the mouth, hopefully the cure will be that he won’t be re-elected.

Here’s hoping Reid DOES run for re-election. Even though Nevada may be becoming a “purple state,” I doubt it will send him back to DC if the GOP can mount a decent campaign.

Well since the RNC chair is incompetent he has an advantage recognizing another of his own.

No fence, no discussion.

Harry needs to follow Hunter’s demand that he resign. He is a quisling.
