And my letter (email) to the cowardly Reid. Please everyone send this POS at least an email.
Senator Reid,
Your poor choice of words today have infuriated me. Your declaration of our having lost the war has certainly energized the insurgency in Iraq. Your posturing for political gain was far more damaging than the recent deaths in Baghdad you used as evidence of our having lost this war.
You show how little you understand fighting insurgencies. I would recommend you read Mao's treatise on the subject.
"Baghdad Bob", though dismissed as a fool during the fall of Baghdad, understood the power of words. While American Soldiers were Showering in Saddam's Bathroom Nearby Presidential Palace:
"We have killed most of the [coalition] infidels, and I think we will finish off the rest soon."
Baghdad Bob was not the fool you proved to be today.
Today Al Queda and the Insurgents are rejoicing in your words. They will be shouting from the minarets, proclaiming victory due to your cowardly and self serving pronouncement of defeat.
My son is currently serving in Iraq in a highly dangerous area of the country. You sir, did not give comfort to my son this day, you gave comfort to and further emboldened the enemy.
You have energized the enemy with your words, yet, unwittingly, you have energized the families of our military and the veterans who still remember your kind during Viet Nam.
