Military Responses to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's Comments
If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is right, nearly sixty percent of Americans agree with him that the war in Iraq is already lost.
And if he is correct in saying that losing the war will increase Democrat majorities in future elections, then it may be fair to conclude that Americans now love losers.
I'm not buying any of it and neither are the troops who are fighting this war.
In the days since Mr. Reid announced that "this war is lost," I have heard from dozens of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardsmen and Marines that I have covered in eight trips to Iraq and two to Afghanistan for FOX News.
Some of those who correspond with me are there now, others are home and some are preparing to deploy again. None of them agree with the Majority Leader's assessment.
One e-mail from Ramadi, Iraq observed: "Good thing this guy Reid wasn't around in 1940 when Winston Churchill promised the people of Great Britain nothing but "blood, toil, tears and sweat."
Another, a National Guardsman, recently returned from Mesopotamia with a Purple Heart, noted that the [b]Senate Majority Leader has become "Al Qaeda's most powerful ally."
At Mississippi State University, a Marine corporal I last saw along the banks of the Tigris River now a college student asked me, "Do those people who think we've lost this war have any idea what things will be like if we really do lose?"
It's an important question that none of the potentates on the Potomac who just voted to withdraw U.S. troops appear willing to address.
According to military folklore, Napoleon kept a corporal at his side to ensure that the orders issued in battle were understandable by the troops who had to carry them out. Whether true or not, it's time for Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi to find such a corporal who will ask them such questions, for if the Democrats continue their current course, we may well lose this war.
This way, they will have embraced defeat and all that comes with it.
What would losing the war in Iraq mean? It's a picture so dark and depressing that it makes the collapse in Vietnam 32 years ago next week look like a Sunday school picnic by comparison.
The fall of Saigon was horrific for the people of the Republic of Vietnam and their neighbors in Cambodia and Laos. More than five million became refugees and by the most conservative estimates - no one knows for sure - at least a million others perished.
For most Americans, the consequences were minimal. The vast majority of the 2.8 million of us who had fought and bled there mourned the loss of 58,253 of our comrades, swallowed the bitterness of defeat, and got on with our lives.
Our nation spent a few hundred million tax dollars on refugee relief and resettlement - and tried to forget what people in Mr. Reid's party called 'the long nightmare of Vietnam.'
But classified U.S. intelligence assessments, military contingency plans and staff studies evaluating the consequences of a precipitous U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, coupled with the lack of funding for political reform measures - as contained in the legislation just passed by Mr. Reid's party - paint a far more dismal picture than anything that happened after Vietnam.
Within months, an immediate upsurge in vicious sectarian violence fomented by Iranian intervention on behalf of Shiite militias and Wahabbi-supported, al Qaeda-affiliated terror groups.
As U.S. forces retreat to a half dozen staging areas for retrograde through Kuwait and Jordan, American casualties will dramatically increase from suicide bombers seeking 'martyrdom' in their victory.
Inside of 18 months, the fragile, democratically-elected government in Baghdad will collapse, precipitating a real sectarian civil war and the creation of Taliban-like 'regional governments' that will impose brutal, misogynistic rule throughout the country.
The ensuing flood of refuges into Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Iran will overwhelm relief organizations, creating a humanitarian disaster making what's happening in Darfur pale by comparison.
The Kurds in Northern Iraq are likely to declare an autonomous region that could well result in Turkish, Iranian and even Syrian military intervention.
In the course of withdrawing U.S. combat brigades and support units, billions of dollars in American military equipment and ordnance will have to be destroyed or left behind. More than $40 billion in reconstruction projects for schools, health care facilities, sanitation, clean water, electrical distribution and agricultural development will be abandoned. Plans to exploit the new West Qurna oil field in southeastern Iraq will be forsaken.
The governments of Kuwait, Jordan, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, intimidated by Iranian boldness in acquiring nuclear weapons, will likely insist on the withdrawal of American military bases from their territories. Such a move will jeopardize U.S. naval operations in the Persian Gulf and logistics, intelligence collection and command and control facilities supporting operations in Afghanistan.
As Iraq becomes a battleground for the centuries-long Sunni-Shiia conflict, radical Islamic terror organizations will use the territories they control to prepare and launch increasingly deadly terror attacks around the globe against U.S. citizens, businesses and interests.
Senator Reid and his cohorts in Congress who believe that "this war is lost" have acted to ensure that it will be.
No one asked them: "If we lost, who won?" The answer should be obvious.

From the General who the liberal leaders can't be bothered to attend his progress report meetings.
Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq.
WASHINGTON — Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said Thursday that conditions in Iraq may get harder before they get easier and will require "an enormous commitment" over time by the United States.
Speaking as the Senate debated veto-threatened legislation to start bringing home U.S. forces in October, Petraeus called the war there "the most complex and challenging I have ever seen."
The four-star general, named by President Bush to oversee the recent buildup of American forces, cited some progress in the two months since the troop increase began.
Still, he said, "there is vastly more work to be done across the board. ... We are just getting started with the new effort."
He avoided commenting directly on the legislation before the Senate, which passed the House Wednesday night. "I have tried to stay clear of the political minefields of various legislative proposals," he said. But his comments made it clear that his war plan did not include a significant reduction of U.S. forces anytime soon.
"This effort may get harder before it gets easier," Petraeus told reporters at a Pentagon briefing, depicting the situation as "exceedingly complex and very tough."
He said that the increasing use of roadside bombs and suicide attacks, plus the greater concentration of U.S. troops among the population, has "led to greater U.S. losses" as well as increased Iraqi military casualties.
Asked how many troops he thought would have to remain in Iraq - and for how long - to finish the job, Petraeus said, "I wouldn't try to truly anticipate what level might be some years down the road." However, he noted historical precedents to long U.S. peacekeeping missions.
"It is an endeavor that clearly is going to require enormous commitment and commitment over time, but beyond that time I don't want to get into try to postulate how many brigades or when we would start to do something," he said.
Petraeus said matters were made worse by "exceedingly unhelpful activities by Iran and Syria, especially those by Iran."
Asked whether senior officials in the Iranian government were sanctioning sending weapons and technology to insurgents in Iraq, the U.S. general said it was hard to say. "We do not have a direct link of Iranian involvement," in attacks, he said.
Petraeus also said that, while the fledgling Iraqi government is often billed as a unity government among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, it actually is not. "It is not a government of national unity. Rather, it is one comprised of political leaders from different parties that often default to narrow agendas and a zero-sum approach to legislation," the general said.
He said that was one reason why progress has been so slow on deciding how to divide up oil revenues and pass budget and emergency powers laws.
Despite the disappointing pace, Petraeus said he believes that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other leaders "are committed to achieving more in this area in the months ahead."
Petraeus cited slowly improving conditions in turbulent Anbar province in western Iraq, noting it had been "assessed as lost six months ago."
He said the increased U.S. presence in various outposts has enabled Iraqis "to stitch together the fabric of society that was so torn."
But he said improvements, such as the reopening of shops and the return by some residents to their homes, are "often eclipsed by sensational attacks that overshadow our daily accomplishments."
"Iraq is in fact the central front of Al Qaeda's global campaign," he said. "Al Qaeda-Iraq remains a formidable foe with considerable resilience and a capability to produce horrific attacks."
"This group's activities must be significantly disrupted at the least for the new Iraq to succeed," he added. "The key to success is disrupting their attacks."
"While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation": "What would a Democrat president have done at that point?"
"Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack."

Yep, even the PM of Australia believes what the SURRENDER DEMS have done as HELPING our enemies.
Australian PM says US Congress vote on Iraq aids Al-Qaeda
Apr 26 10:44 PM US/Eastern
The US Congress' vote to push for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq was wrong and will bring comfort to Al-Qaeda insurgents, Australian Prime Minister John Howard said Friday.
The Democrat-dominated US Senate on Thursday passed legislation which set a timeline for the recall of US troops from Iraq, where the US has been engaged in a bloody war since March 2003.
US President George W Bush has vowed to veto the law.
Howard, a staunch Bush supporter who has also committed troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, said the vote by the US Congress was "probably not helpful to the general situation in Iraq." "I think it is wrong, and I don't think it is doing anything other than giving great comfort and encouragement to Al-Qaeda and the insurgency in Iraq," Howard said.
"They are looking at all this, they read newspapers, they see it on television and they say, 'The American domestic resolve is weakening, therefore we should maintain our resolve.'
"If there is a perception of an America defeat in Iraq, that will leave the whole of the Middle East in great turmoil and will be an enormous victory for terrorism."

I know idiots have difficulty understanding that our military is given DIFFERENT MISSIONS. When they complete one mission, they are given another.
The 'mission accomplished' was TRUE. We had overthrown Iraq....saddam was NO LONGER the leader of Iraq. THAT mission WAS accomplished.

But about the BUSH WAR even LIAR_K made a fool of her self saying the THE BUSH IRAQ WAR was not into its 5th year.
Maybe LIAR_K was thinking it was May 1st 2003 when Bushit said "major combat was over in Iraq"
I am betting on Tuesday Bush won't mention his speech on the Aircraft Carrier of 4 years ago saying "major combat was over in Iraq". Correct me if I am wrong.

Official: Blast by Iraqi Shrine Kills 30
Saturday, April 28, 2007 11:53 AM EDT
The Associated Press
By HAMID AHMED
BAGHDAD (AP) — A parked car exploded Saturday near one of Shiite Islam's holiest shrines in the city of Karbala as people were headed to the area for evening prayers, killing about 30 people and wounding dozens, officials said.
The explosion took place in a crowded commercial area near the Imam Hussein shrine in Karbala, 50 miles south of Baghdad, officials said. At least 30 people were killed and 50 wounded, said Salim Kazim, the head of the Karbala health department.
A car bomb exploded in the same area on April 14, killing 47 and wounding 224.
Separately, a suicide truck bomber attacked the home of a city police chief in the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Anbar province, killing nine Iraqi security forces and six civilians, the U.S. military said Saturday.
HAS THE BODY COUNT OF AMERICAN TROOPS AND IRAQI CITIZENS GONE DOWN SINCE THE BUSHIT "SURGE"?

From The Times
April 28, 2007
7/7 "mastermind" is seized in Iraq
Sean O’Neill, Tim Reid and Michael Evans
The al-Qaeda leader who is thought to have devised the plan for the July 7 suicide bombings in London and an array of terrorist plots against Britain has been captured by the Americans.
Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a former major in Saddam Hussein's army, was apprehended as he tried to enter Iraq from Iran and was transferred this week to the - high-value detainee programme - at Guantanamo Bay.
Abd al-Hadi was taken into CIA custody last year, it emerged from US intelligence sources yesterday, in a move which suggests that he was interrogated for months in a - ghost prison - before being transferred to the internment camp in Cuba.
Abd al-Hadi, 45, was regarded as one of al-Qaeda's most experienced, most intelligent and most ruthless commanders.
Senior counter-terrorism sources told The Times that he was the man who, in 2003, identified Britain as the key battleground for exporting al-Qaeda's holy war to Europe.
Abd al-Hadi recognised the potential for turning young Muslim radicals from Britain who wanted to become mujahidin in Afghanistan or Iraq into terrorists who could carry out attacks in their home country.
He realised that their knowledge of Britain, possession of British passports and natural command of English made them ideal recruits.
After al-Qaeda restructured its operations in Pakistan's tribal areas he sought out young Britons for instruction at training camps.
In late 2004 Abd al-Hadi met Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, from Leeds, at a militant camp in Pakistan and, in the words of a senior investigator, "retasked them" to become suicide bombers.
They were sent back to Britain where they led the terrorist cell that carried out the 7/7 bombings, killing 52 Tube and bus passengers.
Pakistani intelligence sources said that Abd al-Hadi was also in contact with Rachid Rauf, a Birmingham man now in prison in Pakistan and alleged to be a key figure in last summer's alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners in mid-flight.
Abd al-Hadi has also been linked to a number of other foiled al-Qaeda plots to carry out attacks in Britain.
But the Security Service, which has previously sent officials to question detainees at Guantanamo Bay, may not have the opportunity to question him directly.
The Government's recently adopted position in favour of closing Guantanamo Bay is likely to act as a bar on agents travelling there.
British Intelligence would have to rely on relaying questions it would like asked by American interrogators.
Security sources said they assessed Abd al-Hadi as a key operational commander, high up the chain in the al-Qaeda structure who was behind many key plots in the UK.
He had a close link with another arrested al-Qaeda figure and, the sources said, would have "a wealth of information." He is thought to have been in contact with Osama bin Laden before his capture and might be able to provide information about his leader's whereabouts.
Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, said that Abd al-Hadi had been classified as a "high-value detainee" at Guantanamo, and joined 14 others, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9/11 mastermind, as the most senior terror suspects at the Cuba prison.
Mr Whitman refused to say when or where he was captured, or by whom. "Abd al-Hadi was trying to return to his native country, Iraq, to manage al-Qaeda's affairs and possibly focus on operations outside Iraq against Western targets," Mr Whitman said.
He added that he was a key al-Qaeda paramilitary leader in Afghanistan in the late 1990s, and between 2002 and 2004 led efforts to attack US forces in Afghanistan with terrorist units based in Pakistan.
In a lecture this week Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, commander of Scotland Yard's Counter-Terrorism Command, said that the central al-Qaeda leadership was behind a spate of terror plots against Britain.
He said: "We have seen how al-Qaeda has been able to survive a prolonged multinational assault on its structures, personnel and logistics. It has certainly retained its ability to deliver centrally directed attacks here in the UK. In case after case, the hand of core al-Qaeda can be clearly seen."
Sources said last night that few figures had been more important at the centre of the revived al-Qaeda. Abd al-Hadi is credited with forming its alliance with the insurgency in Iraq.
US officials said he was associated with leaders of other extremist groups allied with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the Taleban.
posted on April 28, 2007 10:50:56 AM newUS troops seize gang 'smuggling bombs from Iran'
Apr 27 02:52 PM US/Eastern
US forces on Friday detained four members of a gang suspected of smuggling armour-piercing bombs from Iran to Iraq and sending back militants for "terrorist training", the military said.
A statement from US command in Iraq said the suspects were picked up in an early morning raid on the east Baghdad suburb of Sadr City, a known stronghold of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia.
"The individuals targeted during the raid are suspected members of a secret cell terrorist network known for facilitating the transport of weapons and explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, from Iran to Iraq," it said.
The EFP is a form of roadside bomb in which the detonation of an explosive charge inside a steel tube causes a copper disk to deform into a fist-sized chunk of supersonic molten metal that can scythe through armoured vehicles.
American commanders say the design is exclusively Iranian and in January alleged that at least 170 US troops had been killed by EFPs since May 2004.
The statement also said that the gang had sent "militants from Iraq to Iran for terrorist training."
"Intelligence reports also indicate the secret cell has ties to a kidnapping network that conducts attacks within Iraq," it added.
The announcement came one day after the US commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, accused Iranian Revolutionary Guards of supporting a Mahdi Army splinter group implicated in the kidnap and murder of five GIs.
Since January, US forces have been holding five alleged members of the Guards' covert Qods Force after seizing them in a raid on an Iranian government office in the northern Iraqi City of Arbil.
Tehran denies that its agents are involved in the Iraqi conflict.

there is GREAT news that continues to come out of Iraq.
Like the Iraqi's being shown as starting to take control of defending themselves from the AQ there.
As more and more communities/areas/groups of Iraqi's who WANT FREEDOM follow in these footsteps...the less and less American troops will be necessary.
Let's GIVE THEM A CHANCE....after all 35 years under the TERROR of saddam and his hinchmen....it's going to take a while for them to find their courage/backbone to fight against the AQ there in Iraq.
Iraq Sunni tribes build police force, fight al Qaeda
the U.S. military now points to Anbar as a positive development in the four-year-old war in Iraq.
"At a news conference in Washington on Thursday, the U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, hailed Abu Risha and other Sunni tribal leaders.
He said the Sunni Arab tribes were "helping transform Anbar province and other areas from being assessed as lost as little as six months ago to being relatively heartening[/i]."
"V" FOR VICTORY"
"The changes have been noticeable in Ramadi. More people are shopping at outdoor markets. Students are returning to schools."
----------
I think it's tremendous progress that BOTH the sunni and shiite are beginning to realize that it's the AQ that are pitting them against one another.
That's a GREAT beginning.

DESPITE DESPERATE ATTEMPTS FROM LIAR_K AND OTHER NEW-CONS TO COVER UP FAILURES OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. THEIR BULL ROAR ISN'T WORKING ANY LONGER.
TRUTH IS REPUBLICANS NOW HAVE THE BLOOD OF OUR TROOPS ON THEIR HANDS.

Linda_k, leave my name out of your pilled-up drunken rants. My exact words on the Riverbend topic are still there for all to read.

The 'Waco' SCREAMER....is at it again. tsk tsk
He knows FULL well HIS party could have stop this war FIVE [LOL] months ago.....had they REALLY wanted to. But they don't have the GUTS to do that.
Nope....they're just going to continue using this war for their OWN political gain. [they hope]
WHILE they make our troops SUFFER and do without necessary funding.
No one that knows congress' constitutional powers is going to BUY into the LIE that they can't stop this war tomorrow IF they really wanted to do so.
They've APPROVED more funding.....get that.
=============
and kiara....I'll bring up your name any time I wish to do so - as you do with mine whenever YOU wish too.
We have FREE SPEECH here in America....and you won't be CENSORING MINE anytime soon.
YOU DO support the cowards like riverbend who run out rather than the brave Iraqi's who have found a backbone to fight the AQ terrorists.
Just as you have been calling for the US to do since the war started. Take the COWARDS way out.
The liberal way.
===================
And while kiara choses to continue to mention my drinking....I hope it goes to show just how willing she continues to be to slander anyone who doesn't see the issues her way.
You know....like CC accused ME of doing. lOL
CC asked: "What is this need you have to disparage everyone who does not agree with you?"
[when I gave her back the same sarcasm she gave me FIRST]
Think CC just misses it when HER side does the same thing? Or could it be that she CHOOSES to ignore them.
Maybe CC will come in and say her little condescending speech to kiara....who continues to LIE about me.
