Senator Reid has allowed power to corrupt his judgement. He now spends so much time with the extreem Left leaders of his party that he is out of touch with mainstreem America and his own state of which I am a resident. I am non partisian politically but I believe that Sen. Harry's Reid's carreer will be severly damaged if not over in Nevada before the year is out. The reaction here in northern Nevada is mostly outrage over Sen. Reid. I'm not sure down in Vegas where it is a little more to the left.
Can you imagine Patton or Churchhill telling their countries that the war cannot be won when the outcome had not yet been decided. Calling for our troops to be out of Iraq is not going to happen. Since WWll ended in the 40's there are still US troops in Europe and since the Korean War in the 50's there are still troops over there. The big picture is not in Sen Reid's view because he can only see scoring political victory for his party at the cost of defeat of the very country he is supposed to be supporting. This war is becoming more like Vietnam- the politicans want to run the war and leave our soldiers on the field in combat without any backup. Senator Reid-RESIGN FROM OFFICE NOW! You are 86'ed here in Nevada, stay in Washington. I called your office in Washington to leave a message today but your voice-mail was full. I can only hope that people were leaving more complaints for you to hear.

You mean "Did Harry Reid demean our troops by declaring the war is lost?".
No.
Leadership, management, and mission is the problem, not the boots on the ground. Except for some very rare losers, I've never met a military member who couldn't or wouldn't get the job done when given the tools and leadership required.
This isn't about one political party or another "winning". It's about the USA, its Constitution, its place in the world, and those who serve in its defense. Those who try and play a different game are the losers and traitors.

He called it how he saw it. Sometimes the truth hurts. It is not the troops fault when we loose a war. It is when there is too much politics in it. Theree are too many people that think we can fight wars without innocent people getting killed. The US was not worrying about things like that during World War II. We wanted to win. The only way was to go at it all the way. Drop a few nuclear bombs if necessary. What ever it takes.

Getting out of Iraq is one of the top goals of the new Democratic Congress. If the war is already lost, there would be no reason to stay, thus removing an obstacle to that important goal. In the sureal reality of Washington DC, saying something enough makes it true, so if enough politicians say the war is lost, then it is, and thus they can bring the troops home - to the accolades of thier base, and the embarrasment of thier rivals. He's just doing his job & being loyal to his party.

Harry Reid is not even able to confront his own shortcomings but can point them out in others. He is like a failed commander in the military blaming the troops for the battle being lost. An example for anyone not to aspire to be.

Reid is a hippie who happens to wears a suit.
Today's generation of Americans has been brainwashed to believe that America is evil. Liberals are too dumb to realize that they are aiding our enemy. Our enemies don't have to defeat us because Liberal Democrats will defeat us. They are the enemy within. Liberals want us to lose this war. Nothing will make them happier.

He didn't demean anyone. He simply told the truth. Except that this has never been a 'war' It was an occupation, under the guise of a 'war'. We could well have gone in peacefully. These people didn't need lollipops for their chidren. They needed an American who would give THEM jobs instead of foreigners. An American who would help them rebuild; an American who cared. This isn't 'war.'

it particularly is like asserting why did you blink while you have been falling 50 thoughts whilst a extra useful question might have been why did you bounce. a extra useful question might have been why did the government say that WMD's life in Iraq grow to be "shown" hence we had to pass to conflict.

Hopefully, he didn't mean it because it is a terrible thing to say.
He is also involved in a Las Vegas real estate corruption scandal.

Declaring that, has nothing to do with demeaning the troops. The ash whole, Bush, demeaned them, himself, when he sent them there in the first place.
