June 16, 2007.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney went after U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid with both rhetorical barrels Friday on Reid’s statements that the Iraq war is lost and the troop surge initiative is a failure.
“’If he’d been Valley Forge, he’d have thrown in the white towel and we’d be singing as our national anthem “God Save the Queen,”’ Romney said.
“He was referring to recent statements by Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that President Bush’s troop surge initiative ‘has failed to produce the intended results.’
“’We won the war to knock down Saddam Hussein and remove his army,’ Romney said. ‘We’re now trying to help the Iraqi people establish their own future. That’s a tough challenge.’”
Also, in early August ...
In an August 1 post about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on the washingtonpost.com blog The Trail, which the Post subsequently printed in its August 2 edition, Michael D. Shear noted attacks by Romney on Clyburn:
At each [campaign] stop, Romney also took the opportunity to slam South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, who said Monday that a positive report from Gen. David Petraeus on progress in Iraq “would be a problem for us.” Romney demanded clarification from Clyburn.
“Sometimes they say things they ought to withdraw,” he told reporters.

Romney goes after Obama in debate:
Romney, too, was eager to criticize Democrats. His chosen target was Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, who said recently he would be willing to meet with the leaders of Cuba, North Korea and Iran in his first year in office, and declared in a speech he would order military action to capture terrorists in Pakistan if that nation’s president did not.
“I mean, in one week he went from saying he’s going to sit down, you know, for tea, with our enemies, but then he’s going to bomb our allies,” said Romney. “I mean, he’s gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week.”
