Reid Continues To Extort Troop Funding

The Senate on Friday blocked a Democratic proposal to pay for the Iraq war but require that troops start coming home.
The 53-45 vote was 15 votes short of the 60 needed to advance. It came minutes after the Senate rejected a Republican proposal to pay for the Iraq war without strings attached.
The Republican measure failed by an identical vote.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the only way to get troops the money was to approve the restrictions outlined by Democrats.
“Our troops continue to fight and die valiantly. And our Treasury continues to be depleted rapidly, for a peace that we seem far more interested in achieving than Iraq’s own political leaders,” said Reid, D-Nev.
So Iraq doesn’t want peace?

Violence is down in Iraq
Too bad that Harry doesn’t keep up with the news.

That’d be terrible, just terrible if Reid choked on his Thanksgiving turkey…

Appropriately named, Harry ‘Hands Up’ Reid, (D-NV) will try anything within his power to deny a US victory in Iraq! He prays daily that his words, “America has lost in Iraq,” will prove to be true!
Maybe, just maybe, some of the DEMs who follow his ways will wake up to reality.
