Reid talks sense to the president

Apparently Harry Reid sat down with president Bush and told him he thought the surge wasn't working and the conflict in Iraq won't be resolved with military force.

The angry Bush minions (they are always angry it seems) railed that Harry doesn't support the troops.

Story here

It is president Bush that Harry Reid doesn't support anymore, and for the sensible reason that he has a track record of failure that is costing our country and our soldiers too much.

Is placing our young men and women in a dangerous situation where staying won't help the only way to look out for their best interests?

Is unflagging allegiance to doomed policies required of me to be considered in support of the troops?

It is my view that no amount of stubbornness will turn the surging disaster that is Iraq into a flower and candy strewn beacon of democracy.

Demonstrating what I like to call outhouse diplomacy, this administration fed lies to the American people and to our allies to get the war it wanted, then turned it all to crap.

Our troops are the ones paying the price for these lies every day. They are dying and
everything.


What a price that we pay when a life bleeds away.
Oh, Goodbye.
Oh, Goodbye.

I'm sorry to say that you die on this day...
For a lie!
For a lie!

What a price that we pay when we look on this day
In their eye.
In their eye.

I wish I could say this war stops today
We will try.
We will try.
