Washington, DC—Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement this evening after the Senate passed the Supplemental Appropriations Act:
“Hundreds of Nevada families know all too well the sacrifice of sending a loved one into battle to defend America. And when we ask those troops and those families to give so much to our country, we have a solemn obligation to do everything possible to support them. That’s why it was so important for us to pass this supplemental bill that ensures that the additional 30,000 troops we’re sending into Afghanistan have everything they need to be successful in their mission.
“Along with critical support for our troops, this bill sends over $5 billion to our local communities for disaster preparedness and relief. Already this year, we’ve seen devastating floods through the Midwest and Southeast cause billions in damage and impact the lives of thousands of middle-class families. Passage of this bill will provide critical reinforcements to those affected regions of the country.
“I commend my Republican colleagues who voted for this bill and put aside partisan rancor to join Democrats in making sure that our troops can be successful and our communities are prepared for natural disasters.”
Isn’t this the guy that said we have already lost the war?
FU Harry Screed
This guy is delusional.
Didn’t Reid say that it’s best for us to surrender in Iraq?
John... I think someone is pilfering your work.
Usually that bald face of a lie is followed by a lightning bolt to the head.
If they love the troops so much, then why are they:
1. Working to take away their pay raise
2. Refusing to dramatically increase the military to keep deployments to one out of 3 or 4 years.
3. Passing legislation designed to infect their blood supply and life-saver operations with Hiv and other blood-borne illnesses
4. Allowing them to be shot at for free in Afghanistan
5. Supporting lawsuits to malign their character and service.
ofcourse he is, he’s a democrat.
He must be,boggles the mind.
Does any one know, is the the first sitting President to not lay a wreath at the grave of the Unknown since LBJ?
WHAT A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A CIC!
I'd love to see W and Laura go to Arlington and pay their respects and then zip by Walter Reed for a couple of hours.
Harry, please resign tonight and return to the only house in Searchlight, yours...you brain-addled, anti-American poltroon.
“This war is lost.”
During my time in Baghdad (Mar 07 - Mar 08), the dems for the most part were consistent in their efforts to say that Iraq was a lost cause and we should leave. This provided encouragement to those who were trying to kill us. I still get torqued off when I think about this.
Yep. “The surge has failed. The war is lost” - Harry Reed.
Thank u for your service Freeper..Dingy Reid also kept repeating that mantra even before the Surge’.
Two words:
(1) Bull; and
(2) Sh*t.
Thank you for your service FRiend. You have every reason for be torqued.
