The last bigmouth that messed with Bush and the troops.

Washington, D.C.—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued the following statement today after Republicans blocked the Webb-Hagel Amendment to enhance military readiness:
“In blocking this bipartisan bill, Republicans have once again demonstrated that they are more committed to protecting the President than protecting our troops. They have shown they will allow President Bush’s flawed war strategy to continue to strain our military rather than allow the availability of troops to dictate our operations. And they believe it is in our national security interest to push our brave troops and their families beyond their breaking point.
“Democrats disagree. We care deeply about rebuilding our badly overextended military and ensuring our troops have the time to properly train, prepare for and recover from battle. And Democrats remain committed to repaying in some small measure the sacrifices our brave troops are making every day.”
Why did we not counter-battery with a bill of our own to increase the size of the land forces by ~100,000, funded by tax cuts in a host of deserving areas (NEA, Dept of Education, FEMA etc...), described as a PARTIAL undoing of the Clinton force cuts that have forced our understrength Army and Marine Corps to have a less that 1:1 ratio of dwell:deploy time?
The last bigmouth that messed with Bush and the troops.
Where are the people of Nevada with a recall petition for this clown...traitors must not be allowed to serve the people
After all, if the war is a lie then Husseins execution was a murder.
I guess we’ll both be glad when Dingy Harry’s treasonous rhetoric come to an end after the next election - eh?
Methinks this reeks of triangulation. Or projection. Or some similar technique/pathology.
Dude, you pinging MurryMom? Do you want FR’s servers to crash and FReeper’s monitors getting the blue screen of death?
Hey Harry....STFU. You are a blithering idiot. You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
We converse on a semi-regular basis. She does divulge a few gems like -
Of course [Hillary] will [release her medical records], just like all other Democratic presidential candidates have done for many years now.
Even if I worked at Disneyland, I couldn't make up stuff like that...
Yep. Rationalization and projection. Sadly, few Republicans take the time to condemn and explain such statements, leaving the uninformed free to willfully suspend disbelief, and accept such unrefuted statements at face value.
Harry will get what is coming to him for being such a jerk! He is not for NV, nor anything else in America!
Did it occur to the Dems that a lot of troops don’t want to spend 50% of their active duty stateside? They’re professionals who want to advance their skills in a primo enivironment.
Hey Harry 11% approval rating for you and W has 29 % . So STFU !
Egressive Democrats
Truman, 1949: "Let's get out of Korea."
McGovern, 1972: "Let's get out of Vietnam."
Reid, 2007: "Let's get out of Iraq."
Harry Reid’s next proposals to “protect” the troops will be to replace their rifles with broomsticks and humvees with tricycles so that they can’t hurt themselves.
