REID'S BLOODY HANDS

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.

Reid could nd the war tomorrow if he had the stones. He cold refuse to takeup any legislation funding the troops and that would be that.

I said at the time that the Democrat victory in the 2006 elections will be a watershed event for the Republicans in '08.

Harry and Nancy's antics are just to obviously lunatic ramblings, even for the uninformed masses.

My thoughts exactly. 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.

Reid could do a lot of things, but putting our military first, isn’t the thing he intends to do first. If the Republicans don’t start screaming at this guy soon, I’m going to lose my television set. It’s one flying object short of shattering into a million pieces.

He is Bloody Harry.

A disgrace to the nation that gave him birth and high privilege.

A trecherous enemy to his own homeland.

In Italian, we would say, disgraziato, porco miserio.

There are a lot of other words we would use, but I don’t talk like that anymore.

I miss axe wielding dually driving W. Unfortunately, he is long gone in favor of a more politically correct President. Hopefully the RNC runs some really powerful ads in 08 so we can take power back. I saw the Jewish Republicans already running a picture of Pelosi in a head scarf, that’s a good start.

Exactly. It has never been about Iraq.

Harry Reid: Poster boy for BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). That man definitely needs to get out more.

Bloody Harry is a terrorist sympathizer, and he should be called just that.

“Harry and Nancy’s antics are just to obviously lunatic ramblings, even for the uninformed masses.:

I hope you are right, but a large percentage of the American population voted in 2004 to elect a supremely arrogant, openly traitorous John Kerry to be CIC.

God help us.

Reid and his ilk needs some specific questions asked of him in public in front of the whole country.

Questions like, What specifically is the criteria in losing a war? I mean.... in his opinion?

Because people are dying in this one?

Because in this one people is actually fighting back. They are kind of.

Does he think all an enemy have to do is blow up a bunch of civilians. Is that the only thing an enemy has to do to win a war? Blow up people?

I mean, someone needs to have him justify his remarks in front of the American people. I’ve found the left-wing ready willing and able to spew their filth and happy to do so..... right until someone was to ask them specifics about what they are spewing.

Exactly, what does Reid mean by we are losing the war in Iraq?

Reid and the rest of the Dems should be specifically asked “What will be the effect in the region if we leave Iraq?”

"The only way America will ever be defeated by death-worshipping theocrats who've crawled out from under a Dark Ages rock is with the help of the mullahs' fifth column - academia, the media, the judiciary, public education, Hollywood and the Democratic Party.

Of the two suicide cults America confronts, liberalism is by far the more lethal."

Excellent questions, however traitor Reid and the other traitors in the democrat party are not here to answer any question because they are not forced to do so by a left wing media who totally cover and support them.

Another great question that the traitors will not answer. The true answer for this question will show the whole country that they are a bunch of traitors working relentlessly on destroying the nation.
