It’s official. Harry Reid, speaking for Democrats says that Iraq is “lost”.

WASHINGTON — Senate majority leader Harry Reid said yesterday that the war in Iraq is ‘‘lost,’’ triggering an angry backlash from Republicans who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops.

The bleak assessment, the sharpest yet from Reid, came as the House voted 215 to 199 to uphold leglislation ordering troops out of Iraq next year. Reid said he told Bush on Wednesday that he thought the war could not be won through military force, but only through political, economic, and diplomatic means.

‘‘I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense, and — you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows — [know] this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday,’’ said Reid, a Nevada Democrat.

Way to support the troops there Harry.

Reid’s solution is the same old same old; let’s talk it out and all get in touch with our inner child. Harry, sometimes war IS the answer. Get over it.

Listen, I know that you and your fellow liberals are pissed off that you cannot get the funding for the war withdrawn but you’ll just have to deal with it. But to give aid and comfort to the enemy? It doesn’t get any more treasonous than this.
