Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid called President Bush "dangerously incompetent" on Wednesday and said the administration ought to be doing more to prevent increasing sectarian violence in Iraq.
"Where is (Secretary of State) Condoleeza Rice? Why isn't she over in the Middle East, as the chief diplomat of this country should be, trying to get the political forces to form a government over there?" Reid told The Associated Press.
Reid said the U.S. was "failing three different ways in Iraq." Military efforts have lagged, the economy is crippled by decreased oil and electricity production, and attempts to form a representative government are behind schedule, he said.
Reid criticized Bush for a series of recent appearances in key political states in which the president defended his Iraq war policies.
"Why isn't he spending time with these leaders in the Middle East trying to get this government formed?" Reid said.
"To me it shows how dangerously incompetent he is," Reid said. "'Stay the course, mission accomplished, bring 'em on,' the American people are sick of that. We need to change course in Iraq. ... I think the president burying his head in the sand is not going to do the trick."

did the President's poll numbers go up???
A big lie is easier to sell than a small one. Viewed through almost any prism, this military expedition into Afghanistan and Iraq has been an unprecidented success.
"Where is (Secretary of State) Condoleeza Rice?"
Oh no, you di'int! Condi could beat the tar out of Dingy Harry and he knows it.
Do the dems realize they look foolish parroting talking points? Polly want a cracker?
Senator Reid couldn't find his own ass without a satchel full of campaign contributions from the professional assfinders' lobby.
Name-calling is all they have.
Nevada conservatives must be so embarrassed to be represented by such an ignoramus. They have my sympathy.

And speaking of incompetent, Harry, what's the word for a guy who suggests using military bases and personnel to score political points in direct violation of military regs?
