This Alone Should Guarantee Reid's Defeat

By Semperpapa

Not too many real Americans can forget the disgusting words of Senator Harry Reid when he announced that the war in Iraq was lost.
He did so as the troop surge ordered by then President Bush was getting on its way, in a move that Sen. Reid made to attempt and impress the American people into a state of dissent against the White House, the US Military and its efforts in Iraq.
It was a pure agenda driven political move dictated by an immoral pursue of political power at the expenses of our men and women in harm’s way.

Today, history revisionism and revolting political spin is in full swing at the Reid campaign, as the despicable Reid is facing a very good chance of being defeated in the mid-term elections in November.

When questioned by the Las Vegas Review Journal about the infamous statement, the representative of Reid’s campaign answered this:

At the time Sen. Reid made this comment, President Bush had been pursuing a failed, stay-the-course strategy that had cost thousands of American lives and billions of taxpayer dollars. Iraq appeared to be on the verge of a sectarian civil war. He was simply pointing out what our military leaders, including Gen. Petraeus, had been saying for months: that we could not win by staying the course; the war needed to be won diplomatically, politically, and economically. Sen. Reid and his colleagues were successful in forcing President Bush to finally abandon his failed approach and refocus on political reconciliation. This is what ultimately paved the way for the Iraqi government to take greater responsibility for Iraq’s future.

So the statement did not really mean what it said, but it meant the opposite of what it said, or something like that. It sure is a hell of a stretch to give that statement credit for winning the war in Iraq. I wonder if the representative of Reid’s campaign who made the statement was actually keeping a straight face as the words were uttered.

Regardless of the spin and the lies of Reid and his campaign, the truth remains that the man made a treasonous statement that was aimed at politically damaging the President by using the blood and sacrifice of our Military. Only in America we can witness a political figure gain Senate Majority leadership after actively undermining the Military in time of war, basically getting a promotion instead of a well deserved rope around the neck.

This type of revisionism is nothing less than appalling, a real insult to the intelligence of the people of the state of Nevada and of all Americans, and should be in itself a very good reason to insure that Harry Reid is prevented from further soil the halls of our United States Senate.

Just my thoughts!
