Delusional

Did she really believe Republicans would subject themselves to a forum on the most loathsomely bottom-feeding major left-wing blog on the ‘Net, dKos not excepted? Where the comments on threads about Republican politicians with health problems need to be closed preemptively to prevent the inevitable flood of death wishes? After Silky Pony et al. have already set a precedent for boycotting forums considerably less hostile than this one?  McCain and Romney are already out

Fox News:

“In less than six months time, Senator Reid has gone from pledging full funding for the military, then full funding with conditions, and then a cut-off of funding. Three positions in five months on the most important foreign policy question facing the nation and our troops,” Cheney said.

The President sends out his attack dog often, that’s also known as Dick Cheney and he was here again today. Attacking not only me, but the Democratic congress. The President is in a state of denial.

“I’m not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating. … I’m not going to get into a name-calling match with the administration’s chief attack dog,” Reid said after being asked about Cheney’s remarks.

“If you look at what we have done in this legislation, we have done what is good for troops, good for our country. There is no question about that. And this is not a time for name-calling, I think it’s a time for cinching up our belts, doing what’s right for the troops. That’s what our supplemental appropriations bill is about,” Reid said.

“Indeed last week, he said the war is already lost, and the timetable legislation that he is now pursuing would guarantee defeat,” Cheney said.

Who is Reid to call anyone an “attack dog?” He called President Bush a “loser” in front of a bunch of school kids once. And now he’s getting snippy over a little pushback?

AP:

He’s willing to compromise. Unlike some Democrats, he’ll hear Petraeus out; he’ll just simply refuse to believe anything he says that doesn’t fit the left’s narrative. If that “reasoning” sounds familiar, that’s because it’s exactly what Eric Boehlert and various nutroots morons accused the right of doing during the Jamil Hussein episode. Allegedly we couldn’t accept that conditions in Iraq were dire so we concocted a sourcing scandal to explain away a dubious AP report about Shiites lighting Sunnis on fire, which, once discredited, would call into question the totality of reporting from the country. Sheer, unadulterated horseshinola, but that’s What Warbloggers Believe according to non-warbloggers Boehlert et al. Now here’s the Senate majority leader doing precisely the opposite, willfully turning a blind eye to any signs of progress, however “modest,” to protect his own quasi-religious conviction that nothing but nothing good has ever come from the war and nothing ever will. Wouldn’t be the first time the left has done that, either.

The Sandbox: (from CNN transcripts):

BASH: Arlen Specter, a Republican, but somebody who, in many ways, is like you, a critic of the president’s Iraq policy. He said this. He said: “For men and women who are over in Iraq to have somebody of Senator Reid’s stature say that the war is lost, it is just very, very demoralizing and not necessary.”

Is there something to that, an 18- and 19-year-old person in the service in Iraq who is serving, risking their lives, in some cases losing their life, hearing somebody like you back in Washington saying that they’re fighting for a lost cause?

REID: General Petraeus has told them that.

BASH: How has he said that?

REID: He said the war can’t be won militarily. He said that. I mean he said it. He’s the commander on the ground there.

BASH: But, sir, there’s a difference…

REID: Are they critical of him?

BASH: … between that and saying the war is lost, don’t you think?

REID: Well, I — as I said, maybe it’s a choice of words. I mean General Petraeus has said the war cannot be won militarily.

Doesn’t every soldier going there know that he’s said that?

I think so.

BASH: You talked several times about General Petraeus. You know that he is here in town. He was at the White House today, sitting with the president in the Oval Office and the president said that he wants to make it clear that Washington should not be telling him, General Petraeus, a commander on the ground in Iraq, what to do, particularly, the president was talking about Democrats in Congress.

He also said that General Petraeus is going to come to the Hill and make it clear to you that there is progress going on in Iraq, that the so-called surge is working. Will you believe him when he says that?

REID: No, I don’t believe him, because it’s not happening. All you have to do is look at the facts.

Pat Dollard traded a life of luxury as a Hollywood agent for that of a war journalist dodging bullets and shrapnel alongside the Marines in Iraq. He did it so you could see the truth…his version of the truth.

      Harry Reid needs to be abandoned in Zimbabwe.

      Reid said the president was in a state of denial. I think Reid is in a state of denial. He knows more about what’s going on in Iraq than the General on the ground in Iraq? Send him over there so he can see for himself! :roll:

      Susanna,

      When Reid, Pelosi, and Clinton go to Iraq, they always try to get the best “protective” people they can before they go. These elected hypocrites go on to always cut down the organizations and people that Reid and Co. solicit to keep them safe.
