Marines Tape a Video Response to Reid's Disgraceful Statement; UPDATE Noteworthy quote: "I Got a Message for that Douche Harry Reid..."
When I first heard that some Republicans were calling for Harry Reid's resignation in response to his utterly disgraceful "we've lost" statement, it seemed to me to be mostly politically-motivated positioning.
But then I found out about this headline in Al Jazeera: Iraq war 'lost' says top Democrat, and thought about how that headline was playing to our fanatical Islamist enemies and their state sponsors Iran and Syria. Then I heard about the headline at Iran Press Television: US has Lost War in Iraq: US Democrat and another at the widely circulated Arab daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat: The Democrats Believe The War Is Lost and Bush Refuses a Deadline For Withdrawal... and it dawned on me that Harry Reid is not merely opposing America's foreign policy and making horribly irresponsible statements--he is actively encouraging our enemies, and probably resulting directly in the deaths of American servicemen and women. In earlier days of America's history, Reid could have faced a firing squad for such a statement.
So, yes, please do put me on the record: Harry Reid should either resign or else be impeached as the Majority Leader of the Senate. He is a disgrace to the country he calls home and a traitor to its Constitution he has sworn to uphold. And some Marines in Ramadi have a message for Senator Surrender.
UPDATE: Via Glenn, Bill Kristol wants Reid gone too.
