Democrat Proves “Liberal Leadership” an Oxymoron
Thursday, April 19th, 2007Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrat, proved today that the Democrat Party is the party of defeat and that they have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the troops they voted to put into harm’s way:
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.”
Never mind that by making this statement publicly, Mr. Reid has almost single-handedly destroyed the morale of most of the troops now serving in Iraq. Never mind that by making this statement publicly, Mr.Reid has just told the enemy that if they can just hold on a little longer we’ll be out of their hair, and oh, by the way, our soldiers won’t be getting that equipment and additional funding they need. Mr. Reid, did you ever think that being “the odd guy out” may mean that you’re wrong? I mean, what gives you the idea that you know better than seasoned military personnel? Actions like this are why Conservatives have been questioning your patriotism for months, if not years. Personally, I don’t question your patriotism as I find it hard to question something you don’t possess.
I always thought that giving aid and comfort to the enemy was grounds for being tried for treason. To do so in the course of a pursuit for political advantage in the next election is even worse, which is what Reid, Pelosi, and the rest of the Congressional Democrats are doing.
Don’t forget, that while the Democrats are stalling the passage of the supplemental war funding bill, the military is already having to cut back on supplies for the troops. Its their “slow bleed” tactics in full bloom. Just exactly how is this “supporting the troops”?
