Am I missing something here. It really is starting to feel like I’m living in an alternate universe. Harry Reid, the mouthpiece for the “get out of Iraq now… let’s defund the war effort” cause has just lost (maybe for the 100th time… I can’t say really) all touch with reality:
Reid said Tuesday that Democrats will give troops “the resources they need and a strategy in Iraq worthy of their sacrifices. “If the president vetoes this bill he will have delayed funding for troops and kept in place his strategy for failure,” Reid said in a statement.
So basically, Democrats will give them the resources they need (to stay in harms way even longer than they should). And, if I understand him correctly, their sacrafice is worthy of support, but not worthy enough to let them come home victoriously… in other words, their sacrifice is worthy of a congressionally mandated failure.
Secondly, if I read Reid (grin) right, it seems that he believes that Bush ACTUALLY WANTS the troops to fail. Somehow giving them a chance to secure Baghdad is a strategy for failure but pulling the troops out without victory is somehow a success. Maybe you can start to understand my deja-vu.
While I’m on the point, I find it necessary to point out that terrorists blowing themselves up in public areas is still acts of terrorism by terrorists. Calling it a “civil war” doesn’t magically turn terrorist activity into something different. Therefore, Senator Reid is, in fact, causing our troops to loose the war on terrorism… not simply protecting them from an Iraqi civil war.
And yet the left takes these people seriously. Unreal.
