I'm hoping for any rational Democrat, to explain to me, how he knows better whats going on from a military standpoint, than the commanders who are actually there in the field.
Please keep in mind that I asked for a rational answer, name calling doesn't count.

Harry Reid has a lower approval rating than President Bush. Reids is at 19 percent. Fools names and Fools faces often appear in public places.
I am a 62 year old Vietnam vet and I think that Reid is so indebted to the far, far left wing that he must say these things. It is not rational but political. Can you imagine or even think that the Leader of the Senate during WWII would even think of being so disloyal? Hard to conceive.

Since when do officers report to and take orders from Senators? I've been in the military 27 years and not once has a Congressman or Senator been in my chain of Command. The President IS the Commander-in-Chief! His orders go from the lowest E-1 to the top Generals and Admirals.....and surely not Sen Reid!

When they passed general Petraeus as new chief of operations, with no decent in the senate, Harry Reid said that we should leave the decisions to the generals. Our new policy isn't even in place and Reid is bitching about what a failure this is. He was supposed to give the new general until fall to see how the troops are doing. No wonder his approval rating is 19%. What a loser.

You know, I was tempted to answer this question with a clever and witty reply, but I realized that Republicans would take it for a serious answer, and the Democrats wouldn't understand it.
He's simply stupid if he thinks he understands military matters better than anyone in uniform. Boy Scouts are better equipped to understand Iraq than Harry Reid.

Reid should stick to Shady Land deals.

Harry Reid just digs a bigger hole for himself every time he opens his mouth. He has no clue on whats going on in Iraq.
His poll numbers are lower than the presidents but then again so is the whole democratic controlled congress.....

The best I can come up with is the possibility that he is referring to the many generals who resigned. Yeah I know its weak, but then I'm not a Reid supporter nor did he come out of my district.

We have professional generals for a reason. The last thing we need is a politician so bold to think they can run a war. It's bad enough when generals who understand war try to manage a battle from afar. Ask Rommel how well it works!

is Mr Reid on any committee that matters when it comes to the military? That is the first place I would look. If not, sit down fool!
