Harry Reid is Lost

Harry Reid's famous statement about Iraq that "the war is lost" is now subject to reinterpretation by his campaign.  In other words, he didn't say what you heard him say.  From Matt Lewis
Back in April 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) famously said the Iraq War "is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything, as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday." 

Now, Sharron Angle's team is pointing out that Reid is engaged in a bit of historical revisionism. 

Angle's argument is based on what Zac Petkanas, a Reid spokesman,said this past weekend:




"Senator Reid's comment was in agreement with General Petraeus' assessment that the Iraq War could not be won by military force alone and that a political solution was also needed as part of a two-part strategy -- which President Bush refused to pursue."
Uh-huh. Matt goes on to show how silly that statement by the Reid spokeshole really is:
In fact, Reid was not in agreement with Petraeus, nor was he inclined to believe anything he might say about the surge.

Just days after declaring "the war is lost," Reid appeared on CNN's "The Situation Room" and was informed that Petraeus would come to the Hill and say the surge is working. When asked, "Will you believe him when he says that?" Reid responded, "No, I don't believe him, because it's not happening. All you have to do is look at the facts."

Reid also voted against condemning MoveOn.org's attacks on Petraeus, which called him "General Betray Us."
Nice try, Harry. Enjoy your retirement.

I personally think Reid may have Alzheimers (sp). This man has lost his mind and must often have delusions and dreams that do not conform to reality. He should be VOTED out of office this coming November.
