#1 Projection is a bitch.

Reid needs to be put in a very small room with several Iraqi vets for a while.

#4 One has to wonder where Reid, Pelosi, et al were schooled in the arts of military strategery? A war is not very oftern one in the first battle or even the tenth and (hold on to your hats) sometimes the good guys (us) lose one or two of those skirmishes. Was WWII lost after Battan or Wake or Sigapore or Ardenne? NO Was it won at Midway, Tarawa, D-Day, or Gudal Canal? Hardly. These yahoos have the attntion span of a five-year-old at Chucky Cheese, but the kid has a better sense of direction. Oh and FUCK Harry, Nancy, and the gang.

#5 Maybe Reid went a few too many rounds without his headgear.

#9 Every word out of Reid and Pelosi's mouths gives aid and comfort to the enemy, by encouraging them to believe America is about to do exactly what Reid and Pelosi say they want us to do: quit, give up, run away from the fight.

They are traitors. Period.

You know Harry, one of these days, during one of your show hearings, you’re or one of your fellow blowhards are going to catch one of those generals in a very bad mood. Who knows why, but there are days like that. And he’s going to stare you right in the eyes and ask right back “why are we letting you sit here”. Now, I expect you’ll get all ruffled and use all sorts of rhetoric about how the officer was out of line and even threaten him, to which I suspect he’ll further reply “You and who’s Army are going to make it happen mister?” Cause at that point, you’ll find out that it isn’t your Army anymore.

I’m really not looking forward to that day. But you know what? I won’t give a rat’s ass and I’m not going to get between them and you and your brethren. Life is tough. It’s a lot tougher when you’re stupid. Keep sticking the boys in the back with that knife and one day, you’ll find it can cut the other way.

#11 As these incompetent congressmen continue to cut every kind of support that the people in uniform needs to prevent another catastrophic assualt on our nation, we simply sit back and take the buckets of crap they trow at our people.

These people are our fighters, however the small minded Dhimmicratic leaders of our Congress are smart enough to know these fighters can't come back at them like they are with the enemies or America.

It is up to us to fight the war on the home front against such loathsome imbeciles.

Yet, we aren't doing it.

#14 Wikipedia defines Quisling:

"In contemporary usage, "Quisling" is synonymous with "traitor", and particularly applied to politicians who appear to favour the interests of other nations or cultures over their own."

Great pix BTW, I think that gesture is from the quisling to all of us...

#16 The least competent soldier is likely more competent than the most competent politician; it may not be possible to be further apart on the competence scale than Pace and Reid.

#17 His comments don't bother me when I consider the source. What really bothers me is how he got where he is in the first place.

#18 The problem with Reid is he has to play to the nut-roots (in order to keep the money flowing in). Many of them actually believe that the U.S. is the font of all evil and Western civilization is the most terrible civilization of all.

I believe he knows he's talking crap, but this is a naked play for more money from the poor little trust fund brats of San Francisco and Hollywood.

#20 Pelosi and Reid represent the party in America that loaths a "of and by the people" America. That ones that defend this nation are the sons and daughters "of the people". The loath the military that protects this nation just as much as tyrants and despots around the world.

When the Dhimmicrats get enough power, they turn our sons and daughters in uniform into "conquered" status. Purposely humiliating them by pulling them out of operations that protect our nation and putting into servant capacity. Using the military for nothing more than flying them and their families around the country, serving orderbs at White House functions (Clinton Administration).

The Dhimmicrats are the type of people our troops are trying to defeat around the globe. The Dhimmicrats are the only ones who can humiliate our military, claim our military is incompetent, and demean our troops without having to worry about the troops fighting back.

#21 Don't blame Reid or Pelosi. Blame the stupid, short-sighted, greedy, ill-informed, self-consumed, apathetic, ignorant and lazy sons of bitches who voted the Dems into power.
