Let me propose this again ~ send Harry Reid to surrender to one of the insurgent groups.

The sooner the better too.

Well that might be true if we have “leaders” whosemain priority is self-gain by killing on Nevada land though illegally reported transactions (or in Arkansas for that matter).

I was especially impressed by this letter to Reid that Michelle Malkin posted in her blog

Senator Reid,

I am a US Army Reservist. I was activated in March 2005 and served on FOB Abu Ghraib, Iraq from June 2005 until May 2006. I was First Sergeant for a Medical Task Force responsible for all detainee health care in Iraq. My unit was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for our accomplishments and I received the Bronze Star for my achievements. I certainly hope you can sense the pride I have in my unit and my service. That pride will soon be stripped from me in defeat.

My father is a Vietnam veteran; a Captain in Saigon. Like me, he was a volunteer and was awarded the Bronze Star. He began his tour when I was two weeks old. While I was growing up, I heard over and over again in classes from grade school well into college how the United States lost the war in Vietnam. I wondered how he could be so proud in defeat. I see now that it is happening to me how his pride and accomplishments were stripped from him on a rooftop in soon-to-be Ho Chi Minh City.

The Democrats have wanted Iraq to become a Vietnam for George Bush from the start. You, sir, finally have your Vietnam parallel. This war has been pure politics for you and the Democrats. You have now conceded defeat when the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Airmen have not. And my children will have their parallel as well. They will wonder how I can be so proud in defeat. The only question that remains is whether my defeat will be a dramatic airlift off a rooftop or whether it will be an impotent crawl across the Kuwait border.

From the beginning you and your ilk have sat on the sidelines, our sidelines, declaring the immorality, illegality, and the futility of your country's efforts. In emergency medicine there is an old saying; if your patient believes he is dying, he probably will. Your stance on Iraq will prove to be just that sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. To my children, I will have to explain how the war was declared "illegal" by a bunch of politicians who readily admit they didn't read the authorization to use force that they signed. And how Hans Blix didn't really declare that the inspections were working, only that they would keep Hussein from doing too much. And how Hussein violated every resolution the UN threw at him. And how the Democrats connived the US into thinking the war was all about Big Oil and Haliburton without batting an eye at the corruption surrounding Total Fina Elf, Yukos, and the Oil for Food program. And that the only shred of illegality surrounding the war is the lack of sanction by the very institution, the UN, that sat by idly and allowed a brutal thug to buy their morality.

This loss will be compared to Vietnam, as you wish, but the loss will not be mine. It will be yours. It will be Speaker Pelosi's. It will be the Democrats' loss, forever and ever. In fact, since the Democrats' conceded defeat in both Iraq and Vietnam when we were winning militarily, the only Vietnam parallel you will likely achieve is how the Democrats so readily accept defeat.

We are winning this war. Just look at the signs. The enemy cannot safely wear uniforms, they cannot confront us directly, and instead they hide amongst and target unarmed civilians. When they succeed in blowing up an unsuspecting marketplace, they can count on you to dutifully deliver the big sound bite about how the civilian body count is direct evidence that the war is lost. Then you tell the same enemy that all they need to do is kill more civilians and wait, kill more civilians and wait, kill more civilians and wait. They were waiting for 2009 but, fortunately for them, "elections have consequences."

This is not the 1960's or '70's. This is the information age and, sir, there is simply too much information about this war that contradicts your statements and actions. History will not be kind to you.

I also checked dingy Harry's bio to see if he ever did everany military and to my non-surprise, he did not

Thank you SOB traitor and son of Hitler Harry “The Coward” Reid. Because of your and the other Democrat support for al-Qaeda you are giving the American people to the Islamic Fascist. I am sure that you have secured your place in the new Sharia Law Government.

Aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war. Federal Marshals need to haul him away and lock him up.

I called Reid’s office and couldn’t get through to a person and left a message that he is a traitor and is giving aid and comfort to our enemies. I repeated that he is a traitor, gave my full name and phone # twice and DARED him to call me. Will never hear from him.
