Sen. Harry Reid Is Right About Iraq War
OPINION by ANDY OSTROY
Last week Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., caused a ruckus in
Washington by saying that there is no military solution to the Iraq War. That
it's over and it's time to get out.
"I believe myself that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense —
and you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows — that
this war is lost, and that the surge is not accomplishing anything, as indicated
by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," Reid said.
...
Bush and his war-mongering cronies took it upon themselves to invade a
sovereign nation under the guise of (a) retaliating against Sept. 11; (b)
protecting America and Britain from WMD "mushroom clouds;" and then (c) building a stable democracy in the Middle East. As we now all know, there were no WMD in Iraq, there was no connection to bin Laden and al Qaeda and true, sustainable democracy is but a fantasy. Failure, failure, failure. And the insurgents have been empowered and emboldened by this failure, not weakened. And Bush's desperate "troop surge" is not going to make one bit of difference in changing Iraq's military and political landscape.
...
Stop regurgitating all this BS about progress and success and show it to
us.
Ah, the usual Liberal restating what Reid didn't say to make it more acceptable.
Next in the Liberal litany of usuals;
Supporters of the GWOT are war-mongering cronies of Bush
Iraq was a good sovereign nation, just remember the flying kites and balloons
No WMD, i.e., Bush lied and got Congress to lie with him
No al-Qaeda connection, but anyway just imply Bush said bin-Laden
No sustainable democracy because everybody knows it should have happened by now
Ostroy is right about emboldening the terrorists (he lovingly calls them insurgents), he and Reid and their ilk empower and embolden them everyday and as long as they voice terrorism's daily talking points, the surge may not work.
Andy, stop regurgitating the Liberal BS about failure and regression and you won't be able to continue as a whore for the right wing media. Maybe the BS is your price.
