Danny gives Reid both barrels:
Dear Senator Reid,
Thank you for finally putting this whole Iraq War mess to bed. The
timing couldn’t be better for my family.
You see, my son is serving in this “lost war” with the 82nd Airborne
Division; actually on his third tour. My family will be very happy to
have him home within 30 days because then he can attend my daughter’s
graduation from college and Commissioning Ceremony.
My bride is skeptical of all of this but I reassured her that I know
for a fact that he will be home soon because based on your statement
and being the Senate Majority Leader, you will kill all funding for
this “lost war” immediately.
My bride was still unconvinced and I explained it to her this way.
If Senator Reid, based on the information that the Senate Majority
Leader has, has determined that this war is lost; there is nothing
left to do but come home. The way I see it, if you were to vote for
anything less; you would be personally liable for any future wounded
or God-Forbid dead soldiers.
Although, I have the utmost confidence that you will do the right
thing and de-fund this war immediately; I have retained legal council
just in case.
So, know this Senator; if you don’t de-fund this war within seven
days, I will hold you personably liable for any harm to American
servicemen. If the war is lost and you have the power to end it then
just do it. Stop whining like a ***** and just do it...
....You, a person in high authority in the US government, have made a
definitive statement that an action is occurring with no redeeming
value. Said action is causing harm and death to US citizens. You have
the unique power to stop said action and thusly stop the harm.
So Harry, I say have the balls to actually do it or find yourself
liable.
Governing is not just whining and pandering. At some point you have to
actually govern. It is painfully clear that you have neither the
intellectual power nor the fuzzy kiwis to actually do it.
Feel free to share this with Neville Nancy as I plan the exact same
action for her pathetic ***.
The soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen that you are endangering by
either your idiotic statements that empower the enemy or your overt
inaction that contributes to their danger; are American citizens. In
either case, you have endangered them and you alone have the ability
to correct it.
See you in court.
Very sincerely,
Crotchety Old *****

Raising The White Flag
By Michelle Malkin · April 20, 2007 01:08 PM
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/20/lieberman-reid/
Reid War Comment Echoes Kissinger, Senior Military Officials
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is under fire from the right over
his statement yesterday that the war in Iraq "is lost."
Reid was called "reckless" and accused of "playing to the worst elements of
the antiwar left." White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino said his comment was
"disturbing." In a new statement, published in full below, Sen. Joe
Lieberman (I-CT) warns Reid, "We should not surrender in the face of
barbarism."
But Reid's description of the war isn't controversial. In fact, one of Bush's
own regular war advisers - Henry Kissinger - agrees with Reid:
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who helped engineer the U.S.
withdrawal from Vietnam, said Sunday the problems in Iraq are more complex
than that conflict, and military victory is no longer possible. [.]
Reid's remarks also echo senior military officials. Retired Gen. Wiliam
Odom, head of Army intelligence and director of the National Security Agency
under Ronald Reagan, published an essay in February titled "Victory Is Not
An Option." Also, via TPM Cafe, here's Gen. Tony McPeak, who served on the
Joint Chiefs of Staff during the first Gulf War:
The war in Iraq isn't over yet, but - surge or no surge - the United States
has already lost. That's the grim consensus of a panel of experts assembled
by Rolling Stone to assess the future of Iraq. "Even if we had a million men
to go in, it's too late now," says retired four-star Gen. Tony McPeak, who
served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Gulf War. "Humpty Dumpty can't
be put back together again."
What Kissinger, Odom, McPeak, and Reid understand is that the mission in
Iraq has changed. The United States is now stuck in the middle of a civil
war to which there is no military solution, only a political one. As Reid
said later: "there is still a chance to change course - and we must change
course."
UPDATE: John Aravosis has several other quotes.
Digg It!
Full statement:
WASHINGTON - Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today made the following
statement in response to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comment that
the Iraq War is "lost:"
"This week witnessed horrific terrorist attacks by Islamist extremists in
Iraq, killing hundreds of innocent civilians and leading Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid to declare that the war is 'lost.'
With all due respect, I strongly disagree. Senator Reid's statement is not
based on military facts on the ground in Iraq and does not advance our cause
there.
Al Qaeda's strategy for victory in Iraq is clear. They are trying to murder
as many innocent civilians as possible in an effort to reignite sectarian
fighting and drive us to retreat from Iraq.
The question now before us is whether we respond to these terrorist attacks
by running away as Al Qaeda hopes - abandoning the future of Iraq, the
Middle East, and ultimately our own security to the very same people
responsible for this week's atrocities - or whether we stand united to fight
them.
This is exactly the wrong time to conclude that we have lost the war in
Iraq, or that our new strategy has failed. Instead, we should provide
General Petraeus and his troops with the time and the resources to succeed.
We should not surrender in the face of barbarism."

Funny, yet sad.
BUSH HAS BEEN PERSONALLY LIABLE OF THE SAME OFFENSE - GOING ON 5 YRS
NOW!
1/2 million dead for nothin, and counting.
thanks Mr President.
Although, I have the utmost confidence that you will do the right
thing and de-fund this war immediately; I have retained legal council
just in case.
Too bad Bush did not do the right thing and listen to the entire former
cabinet of his father's BEFORE he invaded and proved to the World what
a fool he was and remains!!
too much pride.
one of the Seven Captain.
So, know this Senator; if you don’t de-fund this war within seven
days, I will hold you personably liable for any harm to American
servicemen.
You've had 5 fucking years to hold liable "the buck stops anywhere but
here" ***** in the Whitehouse.
Why the ***** didn't you?
If the war is lost and you have the power to end it then
just do it. Stop whining like a ***** and just do it...
I agree, why doesn't Bush just end it? He loves to see more blood
spilled for nothin - obviously.
...You, a person in high authority in the US government, have made a
definitive statement that an action is occurring with no redeeming
value. Said action is causing harm and death to US citizens. You have
the unique power to stop said action and thusly stop the harm.
Yet Bush does the opposite. escalates the cordwood count. and "500
Deferment *****" concurs with his servant.
So Harry, I say have the balls to actually do it or find yourself
liable.
Do you have the balls to point your finger to the "buck stops anywhere
but here" ***** who is the big chief? Or you just going to remain a
***** in denial that you wasted 5 years following and beleiving in a
fraud and moron.
- ya thought so. big fat *****.
Governing is not just whining and pandering. At some point you have to
actually govern.
which sadly requires an informed ELECTORATE - not a bunch of sheople
pussies in denial over REALITY!!
ba......bbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww.
It is painfully clear that you have neither the
intellectual power nor the fuzzy kiwis to actually do it.
talking about Bush again?
Feel free to share this with Neville Nancy as I plan the exact same
action for her pathetic ***.
The soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen that you are endangering by
either your idiotic statements that empower the enemy
"stick and stones" you twit. if words are a threat to American we are
worse off than i thought.
and yes you are a twit Malkin.
or your overt
inaction that contributes to their danger; are American citizens. In
either case, you have endangered them and you alone have the ability
to correct it.
See you in court.
Very sincerely,
Crotchety Old *****
what "enemy" you blathering about?
the one that Bush let get away in Tora Bora?
none in Iraq - just a civil war there.

Sounds like crafted propaganda to me.
I doubt that normal people like to get shot at or blown up.
Anyway.. there is no "war" to win... or to lose.
Victory for the incursion was given with much fanfare four years ago.
Game was over.
The only thing going on now is a (attempted) military occupation that
is costing US citizens enormous amounts of money and casualties.
By definition, military occupations must end at some point in time...
hopefully the sooner, the better.
I see no reason why it shouldn't be soonest.
