REID'S BLOODY HANDS
April 24, 2007 -- Fresh from his declaration that "this war [in Iraq] is lost," Senate Demo cratic leader Harry Reid is moving quickly to hasten America's unilateral surrender.
And to cast the Middle East into murderous chaos.
Reid yesterday promised that the Democratic-controlled Congress will within days pass legislation requiring U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq over the six months starting Oct. 1.
Never mind that such legislation:
* Likely wouldn't pass either house of Congress . . .
* . . . and, even if it did pass, certainly wouldn't survive a veto.
So the point must be not to make policy, but to send a message: That Harry Reid's Democratic Party is against war in the Middle East, maybe?
Or that war in the Middle East is OK - so long as no Americans are fighting?
Or, maybe it's all about politics?
To be sure, Reid won't risk calling for an immediate pullout. He cautioned his party's bug-out-now wing to be patient, despite "the restlessness" of those who "voted for change in November [and] anticipated dramatic and immediate results in January."
The problem, said Reid, is that "George W. Bush is still the commander-in-chief - and this is his war."
And there's the real problem: From the start, Reid and the Democrats have seen the war in Iraq as a partisan opportunity.
They refuse to present a unified front to the rest of the world - especially to America's enemies - because, in their pinched view, to do so would be to weaken their own prospects for retaking the White House in 2008.
No, Reid didn't repeat his declaration of defeat during yesterday's speech from the Senate floor.

SOMEONE better confront Reid and SOON. This is way beyond out of hand and the damage is deadly.
I've already written my Senators but they are in NJ--Deaf Ears. At least they know I'm not deaf. I'm hearing Reid and Pelosi loud and clear!
If you haven't seen this yet: A campaign by active-duty troops asking Congress to drop plans for a withdrawal from Iraq. Lt. Jason Nichols, a 33-year-old naval projects officer who has been in Baghdad since mid-January, said the goal is to keep lawmakers focused on letting the military finish its mission in Iraq, and not prematurely declare failure

Never doubt the depravity of dead souls like Harry Reid, John Murtha, Barbara Boxer, Ted Kennedy, Charles Schumer, and Hillary Clinton, to use treachery toward our courageous military people for the political empowerment of the democrat party.
Democrats care not a whit whose blood they spend to get their power over this nation, alive unborn children or Soldiers fighting Islamofascists, the democrats will spend the blood for their empowerment.
That is a good start, but only a start. We need more messages to pound home the fact these people are anti-American.
“He may as well have told the insurgents to kill as many American troops as you can so the democrats can accomplish their mission of getting out of Iraq.”
The democrat allies heard Reid’s message loud and clear.
I think is was as many as 9 of our brave Troops that were killed yesterday, within one of our own bases.
You offered, “Reid and the rest of the Dems should be specifically asked What will be the effect in the region if we leave Iraq?” They don’t give damn what happens to millions of people in Iraq or to our Soldiers there now, so long as the blood and slaughter empowers the damned democrats in their lust for all power over US.
In Greek, he would simply be called Ephialtes.
Dreamer.. How many Legal and Illegal Aliens will vote democrat in the 2008 presidential election?..
Plus a large portion of American women(BOTH PARTIES) voting for Hitlery..
Oh!.. and most of the Moonbats(if not all) that voted for John Kerry in 2004.. will vote for her heinous..
“They refuse to present a unified front to the rest of the world - especially to America’s enemies - because, in their pinched view, to do so would be to weaken their own prospects for retaking the White House in 2008.”
They need to be pointedly and repeatedly asked what will happen if we withdraw from Iraq. Where will Al Queda go? What will Iran do? What will the Saudis do? What will Turkey do? What will Syria do? Who will protect the flow of oil? What will happen in Afghanistan? Where will all these terrorists go? Who will ever trust us if we leave? All of these questions and more need to be pounded again and again.
It's also too bad that there seems to be no Republicans asking these questions. Before you can expect the MSM to ask them the Pres. or someone in Congress has to demand answers to them.
Send that to Sean Hannity. I don’t think he will do anything at all with it but send it to him.
Perhaps we would be better served to hound our Republican representatives with these questions, until they turn and ask them to the “D’s” through the media. I’m sick and tired of feckless Republican representation. What use are spineless Republicans who allow the lying, treasonous, treacherous democrats to spew their assistance to the terrorists through the media without speaking up to oppose the spittle? Harry Reid clearly is sending a message to the terrorists murdering Iraqis and our Soldiers that more effort on the part of the terrorists will be rewarded with further assistance from the democrats to pull us out of the fight! Reid ought to be in cross hairs instead of CNN trash talkathon mode. Why don’t Republicans speak out and keep speaking out, to get this surrender monkey out of power in OUR Senate?
O what I would give for five minutes alone with that SOB.
I agree. It does no good for us to write, phone or fax the Dems. They could care less what conservatives think. Why would the Dems listen to us when the Pubbies don’t? We need to organize and fund more 527s instead of giving our money to the RNC. O’Reilly said that Soros outspends the top three Republican donors put together by 15 times. Most of it is through 527 front orgs.

Was that you on Sean Hannity just now raising the issue we’ve just cited?
Indeed. 2008 needs to be the election where the democrats look at the swift boat vets as "the good old days".
T’weren’t me. I missed it. My mind has tuned him out with his vendetta against Alec Baldwin.
