Pictures are available at Drudge. This Marine has been in the worst of it and feels hopeful about the situation in Iraq. Time for pinheads like Harry Reid to zip it and stop declaring victory for Al Qaeda.

I wish Bush would do a press conference WITH General Petraeus and have him refute the comments made by Benedict Harry!

yeah and i got a qoute for that douche harry reid.

Spelling aside, he has managed to accurately enscapsulate Reid's personality into one pithy word. A masterpiece of concision.

I’m sure this will be on CBS at 6:30. (sarc) Too bad stories like these are always suppressed by the MSM. This Marine needs to be commended. Harry Reid needs to change places with him for a day or two. I’ll bet he would have a different point of view with a few rounds flying around him.

The amazing thing is, Al Qaeda is the one that’s now in a quagmire in Iraq with Sunni insurgent groups now turning their guns on the Al Qaeda primatives. And just as Al Qaeda finds itself in this awful bind, in steps the geek of the century Harry Reid to declare victory for Al qaeda and give them a much needed morale boost at a time they’re getting their butts kicked. Leave it to a DimBulb-crat to be that stupid and irresponsible.

By the way, notice the incredibly generous treatment given to an Iraqi family when the Marines used their home?? Funny we never hear about those many acts of generosity by our troops from the Democrats’ organ grinder monkeys in the media, but only about terrorists with panties on their heads and Haditha.

So, can we mark our calendars that April 23rd is the day Harry Reid officially became known as “that douche Harry Reid”? I think it should be forbidden to refer to him in any other way.

It might be better to refer to Reid as “The Douche”. It could join “clymer” in the FReeper lexicon.

Senator Douche from the State of Douchedom? (Not to disparage Nevada, though they did elect this tool. Well not much anyway.)

We need to hear more from the troops like this. My understanding is that most commanders have strict orders against political comments of any kind. Hope he doesn’t get in trouble for what was obviously a private message.

In researching this over the years, I have found that in war, clueless commentary from those outside the arena always seems downright strange. It’s like war creates a separate planet, with its own rules. Engaging in political gamesmanship when people are fighting and dieing for freedom just seems bizarre to those in combat.

I’ll say it again; our troops are the saints and heroes of the battlefield. We all owe them a great deal, even Rep. Reid.

“I wish Bush would do a press conference WITH General Petraeus and have him refute the comments made by Benedict Harry!”
-

The President did just that this morning and the MSM press completely ignored Patraeus! . . . The only thing the MSM was interested in was AG Gonzales.

Bottom Line: The MSM reporters are just as committed to our defeat as the treasonous Reid, et al!

"Douche" by itself just does not convey the feelings in play here.

I propose we augment the term with words like "bag", "nozzle", and "breath" to let the world how we really feel about the not-so-good senator from the great state of Nevada.

Are there any freepers from Nevada? If so, does the state constitution of Nevada have a provision to recall elected officials? And if they do, why the hell hasn’t somebody started a recall petition for this douche bag Harry Reid?
