or "Why Senator Harry Reid Sucks!"
Portrait of a Coward/Traitor
When asked about Sen. Reids "The war is lost" comment and isn't saying so akin to surrendering:
"Surrender to who? Who are we surrendering to? This is an unconventional war and has to be dealt with in unconventional ways. This is an administration that has never understood the nature of the threat or the way to respond to it," Kennedy said.
Surrender to who? Al Qeda maybe? Islamofascism? Take your pick!
And I suppose you and your democratic buddies have understood the nature of the threat? What was your plan to deal with it? Talk? Diplomacy? Sanctions? I know, we should have baked Saddam and Bin Laden some cookies right?
People like you have done nothing to support this President, the military, or this administration since January 2001. You are so blinded by your political partisanship and hatred you are willing to sacrifice this nations future for the sake of more power.
If you continue down the road you've placed all of us on, the massacre at Virginia Tech will be nothing compared to what will follow if your views hold sway. Go ahead, say all is lost. Defund the war. Bring the troops home.
Once the warmth of your recycled sanctimony is over, all of us will pay the true cost of your "conscience."

Active-duty military readers and military bloggers: If you'd like to send a message to the treacherous Harry Reid--who just declared the war in Iraq lost today--e-mail me or leave a trackback. I'll reprint/link them here as they come in. Here is Reid's contact form. He really needs to hear from you. (And perhaps Jon Voight could talk some sense into him.)

...Most Americans have soured on the war and want out. I was once optimistic myself, but I no longer am. I can’t help but notice, though, that those I’ve spoken to who actually live in Iraq are more confident and less fatalistic...
...Iraq is a big place. It is more or less the size of California. If a car bomb were to go off in San Diego, it wouldn’t disturb people who live in San Francisco. They would watch the aftermath from safety on TV just as I watched scenes of carnage from safety at Mam Rostam’s in Kirkuk. The war was far away…or at least around a couple of corners. Iraq looks scarier from far away than it does up close and in person…even when you’re in the Red Zone. How much danger you’re in depends on where you are in Iraq. The Red Zone is not one shade of crimson. The war, for the most part, is concentrated mostly in very specific areas. On any given day you might see something violent, but you probably won’t. This fact is completely lost in the breathless media coverage of the carnage, the mayhem, and the bang-bang...

Reader Mark:
As a retired Marine officer, I am shocked at the blatant treasonous statement made by an elected "leader" of this country.
The definition of treason is:
1. Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.
His words can have a very harmful affect on the troop's morale in the field and clearly will embolden the enemy.
Can anyone imagine if a "leader" gave the signal to the world that the United States is giving up during any engagement in WWII and endorsed a surrender strategy even before a plan was allowed to be executed?
It is not only unpatriotic, and cowardly, but it is treasonous! He may be directing his hatred at the President but clearly his words aid the enemy.
God help this country!
