Surrender Harry is in a state of denial, Corporal responds to Harry's plan

From DAVID ESPO AP correspondent on Drudgereport:
"Defying a fresh veto threat, the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass legislation within days requiring the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq beginning Oct. 1, with a goal of completing the pullout six months later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday. "

Let's see, if pull out withing in six months, which actually is very swift, how are we supposed to conduct the following operations below.

Reid said the legislation "immediately transitions the U.S. military away from policing a civil war." He said that troops that remain in Iraq after next April 1 could only train Iraqi security units, protect U.S forces and conduct "targeted counter-terror operations."


If we are: a) leaving, we will be doing nothing but, leaving. b) how do you train Iraqi units without leading them in combat, c) we always protect US forces, but that is never our mission, d) ( I love this one) I thought we were conducting counter terror ops, oh, wait, doesn't that entail combat ops. Hmmmm, maybe he's just trying to CYA and not actually state what he wants, ie. total withdrawal and surrender.


Under an agreement by Democratic leaders, the final bill could trigger the withdrawal of U.S. troops as early as July 1....


Of course, warfare ALWAYS runs according to plan and schedule....wait, isn't that the Dem complaint... that its not?


Reid said Bush was in "a state of denial" over the war, and likened him to another commander in chief four decades ago. "I remember when President Johnson, trying to save his political legacy, initiated the first of many surges into Vietnam in 1965," he said.


Wasn't it a Democratic admin and congress that did that? NOW he's feeling guilty. Hey Harry, even John Kerry knows that the Vietnam war is over. And the peaceniks lost that for us too.


Reid said that in addition to the timetable, the legislation will establish standards for the Iraqi government to meet in terms of "making progress on security, political reconciliation and improving the lives of ordinary Iraqis who have suffered so much."


Talk about denial. Who the hell is our congress to talk about establishing standard for the Iraqi government. Democrats can't even govern NEW ORLEANS AND WASHINGTON DC. How arrogant can you get?


Reid also challenged Bush to present an alternative if, as expected, he vetoes the Democratic legislation.


He HAS PRESENTED AN ALTERNATIVE. VICTORY. You just won't accept it.


"But like it or not, George W. Bush is still the commander in chief—and this is his war," Reid said.


Actually its OUR war. Iraq is a CAMPAIGN in this war. YOU authorized it. And since you so kindly acknowledge that the President is CinC, then STOP TRYING TO DO HIS JOB!


And here's a link to an email from the front about this idiot, also linked on Drudgereport.



From PatDollard.com:
This Email To Me, Harry, And America, Direct From A Grunt On The Front Lines Of Ramadi, Is Just Hours Old.





Corporal Tyler Rock, 1/6 Charlie Company, on the left, at my old home, Camp Hurricane Point, Ramadi.

A view from OP Horea, “Most Dangerous Spot On Earth”, Downtown Ramadi. I no shit watched several terrorists die, on several different days, on this small strip of asphalt. We also took many IED strikes on it. This photo is from Corporal Rock.

Today, from Corporal Tyler Rock in an outpost in downtown Ramadi. His first sentence is in response to an email from me:

“yeah i know how you feel. its going to be very weird leaving this place and going back to america. weve been here for almost an entire year and have lived in the center of it the whole time. its crazy that when we got here it was so hectic and now its calmed down so much. so it was awesome to be able to see that turn out.
yeah news worth reporting…. well ramadi was once dubbed by everyone as the worst city in the world. but we have done such a great job here that all the families in the area have worked with us on driving out the insurgency and that we work directly with the IA and the IP’s. the city has been cleaned up so well that the IP’s do most of the patrols now and we go out with them to hand out candy and toys to the children. you can tell that the people want us here to protect them from the thugs and gangs (insurgents). granted they would rather have peace and quit but they know that if we arent here they will be thrown around by the insurgents,....yeah and i got a qoute for that douche harry reid. these families need us here. obviously he has never been in iraq. or at least the area worth seeing. the parts where insurgency is rampant and the buildings are blown to pieces. we need to stay here and help rebuild. if iraq didnt want us here then why do we have IP’s voluntering everyday to rebuild their cities. and working directly with us too. same with the IA’s. it sucks that iraqi’s have more patriotism for a country that has turned to complete shit more than the people in america who drink starbucks everyday. we could leave this place and say we are sorry to the terrorists. and then we could wait for 3,000 more american civilians to die before we say “hey thats not nice” again. and the sad thing is after we WIN this war. people like him will say he was there for us the whole time.


Sounds like Harry should be part of Code Pink with this kind of "support".
