- “I believe . . . that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week.”–Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, April 19, 2007
- “Resolved, that this convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of military necessity, or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the States or other peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the federal Union of the States.”–1864 Democratic platform
And just some that are fun to throw out there:
They Won the War Before They Lost It
“I am proud of these troops and what they have done. They won the war and the mission was accomplished. We cannot win it militarily.”–Rep. John Murtha, April 20
An Interesting Theory About the Motive
“Brian Williams of ‘NBC Nightly News’ told PBS’s Charlie Rose on Tuesday that the shootings at Virginia Tech proved that viewers still wanted traditional network anchors.”–New York Times, April 19
C’mon, He’s Not Insane, Just Inane

It is time for Harry Reid to resign. This ass has disgraced the United States, the Senate, the State of Nevada, and his home town of Searchlight, NV.

Peejz,
I came back from my “walkabout” to the Putnam Museum in Davenport and noted that McClelland’s running mate wanted to surrender in 1864 if they won. McClelland was the cashiered general by Lincoln because he just organized the Army but didn’t fight. Lincoln brought in Grant and won the war.
Is Petraeus Bush’s Grant?
