Yes, Democrat Baird made that statement; he was very anti-war, went to Iraq and came back a changed man.
I’m liking Wallace less and less. Mitch was quite good and kept telling Wallace the real story that the media seems to want to ignore is Levin coming back and saying the surge is working. Mitch understands the meaning of the word surge.
Reid is changing his story saying that the democrats have never called for a precipitous withdrawal and that Warner is finally getting on board the democrat plan by calling for a troop withdrawal. Wallace doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the word surge.
With the media’s help, the dems will try to turn this victory into Iraq as their victory.
Timmy: if the President insists on sticking with the status quo, will THAT cause a rebellion among Republican Senators? (he is so hoping)
Sen Mitch McConnell..... from the transcript..
“I thought much more newsworthy in August were Democratic critics of the war going to Iraq and coming back admitting that the surge, which they said would be a failure, is actually working.
WALLACE: Well, we’re going to get into that a little bit later with Senator Reed after we finish with you, but you said a couple of moments ago that Prime Minister Maliki has been pretty much a disaster.
MCCONNELL: Yeah.
WALLACE: Would Iraq and would the United States be better off with a new government and a new prime minister?
MCCONNELL: Well, we might, but it’s a democratically elected government, .........”
I wonder who Wallace thinks he is.....
“WALLACE: Well, we’re going to get into that a little bit later with Senator Reed AFTER WE FINISH WITH YOU”
