Reid looks just like “Walter” (the puppet) to me, and I don’t take him nearly as seriously.

Reid can (and I predict will) be overridden by the Senate. And the President has two things going for him that Reid can’t touch:

1: He has the “bully pulpit” to connect with all Americans. A televised speech where Bush states after watching this clip That Reid and the Democrts are betraying the troops.

2: He can use his executive power punish the state of Nevada and blame it on Reid. Withhold “disaster area” designation, for example. Call up all Nevada National Guardsmen for duty in Iraq. ALL of them. Start closing military bases. Order EPA and OSHA and the IRS to begin investigating and auditing his campaign contributors — and make sure they know why.

There are all sorts of things that the President, the Chief Executive of the United States of America (and the most powerful man in the world) can do to undermine Reid. From the petty (refusing him entry to the White House and placing him on the no-fly list), to the sublime (grounding his USAF transports) to the just plain brutal (ordering the Justice Department to investigate Reid’s family’s businesses, including his land transfers.

This is a pissing contest that Reid will lose.

General Reid’s surrender hasn’t gone well at all, I mean with us winning and everything.

I’m in Nevada but don’t blame me, I voted for Ziser his opponent.

Reid is the persona of the definition of insanity: continually repeating the same action but expecting to get a different result.

Ain’t gonna happen.

But as another Bush once said: not gonna do it.

Of course not. Wouldn’t be prudent at this juncture.

Well if someone is pulling back some troops already…He is a yellow bastard, trying to take credit for a military action…treason.

Hurry! Hurry! Retreat before we win.

He is so deeply invested in defeat, he can’t stand all the good reports he’s hearing out of Iraq.

Ya really got to be an America hating fool to be in that mindset

Does this count toward troop withdrawal?

I was thinking the same thing. You just know Reid will take credit for it.

Well said AP, well said. You should be a D strategist. At least then I might not question their patriotism at such a regular clip. As it stands, I not only question their patriotism, I think they are downright anti-American.

And I do agree that this is an opportunity for Bush to come out a winner as well. He can declare victory and withdraw troops back to pre-surge levels and come out smelling like a rose without having bended one inch to the defeatocrats.

Give me an L – O – S – E – R for the D’s.

somebody should explain to Harry Reid or at least the American people {who I believe would have a whole different view of the war if they knew the whole story} You don’t cut and run when your winning you re-enforce and push the attack until you achieve complete victory .
We didn’t go into Iraq for oil we went into Iraq to finish a job long over due and to surround our main target Iran.

What a loser. Harry Reid has to be one of the worst senators of all time.
