#1 Isn't this the same guy who refused to meet with General Petraeus who was going to brief the Congress on how the war is really going?

#4 "This war is lost"

Statement of a loser--A complete loser. This guy makes the hair on my neck stand every time I hear him utter some drively nonsense. What a political animal. These losers get elected. What is the brain dead process that is used by voters?

#5 There should be a picture of Paris in the background, not DC. Reid is more French than American.

#6 Since Reid is OWNED by the Nevada Gambling folk - I assume they just want the big spending Saudis back so they OK'ed his looser message.

After all, he was their chief laywer!

#7 Remember Senator. If you cause the troops to come back in defeat again, they just might be angry enough to enable "against all enemies, foreign and domestic." clause of their oath.

We are watching you, scumbag.

#8 Aside from the naked political calculation that a loss in the war equals a victory for the Democrats, I can only conclude this stuff is the result of a psychopathology. These are the guys who pay for fat women in spiked heels to trample them in their offices. Not that there is anything wrong with that but it is no way to conduct foreign policy let alone a war.

#9 Petraeus should state in his meetings that the war is definetely not lost and that these kind of pronouncements before even being briefed by the General are not helpful to the soldiers in the field.

#10 Reid and the rest of the loser dhemmicrats are vested in the war being lost. However, they do not have the balls to pull funding from the troops with 2008 elections coming up. They just want the current administration to suffer a death by a thousand cuts while risking nothing.

#11 This guy is the Lord Haw Haw of modern times. William Joyce (one of the Lord Haw Haws) was executed for treason. Can Reid at least be impeached? Is there not some law against being an idiot?
