http://www.patdollard.com/2007/04/23...he-harry-reid/

Will this hurt his chance on making E-5??

The link did not work for me. I don't know if that site was taken down or what the problem is.

They could take Harry on a guided tour of Ramadi and buy him a scoop of ice cream... he'd still say we were failing. He's got an agenda, so facts won't change his mind.*

*I'm not there, so I don't have first-hand knowledge. I just try to find information from the people who are actually leaving the FOBs and the Green Zone.

What would the POTUS hating Dims do if he suddenly did what they want and came out in support of a withdrawal?

What would they criticize then?
