Reid itching for his next defeat.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have announced that again they will attempt to legislatively force President Bush's hand on the Iraq war while not actually exercising their power of the purse and thus being responsible for the tragic chaos that would result from a withdrawal at this time. Leave it to the Dems to announce America's surrender on the eve of the 4th of July .
After 10 days of the surge at full deployment they have deemed the effort a failure . I could just imagine their angst when our troops were struggling in the hedgerows of Normandy ;or their raising of the white flag when the 101st Airborne Division was pinned down at Bastogne during WWII .
I got to say one thing for them ;they are relentless. Yesterday Reid licked his wounds after he was pummeled and embarrassed by the Comprehensive Immigration vote and proclaimed that the bill would come up for a vote again .
The problem is that when I read the MSM reports they all said Bush was handed a stunning defeat in the Senate. So much for unbiased reporting .
But I do have to ask President Bush if he really thinks it wise to pick fights with his base at this crucial time ? Perhaps the Democrats have something here . Perhaps they think they see their chance with the Republican base duking it out with the President that it's time to perform the coup-de -gras . I just hope that the base does not forget the phone numbers they have been dialing for the last 2 weeks. There are signs that some of the Republicans in the Senate like Richard Lugar are wavering .
Meanwhile the BBC is openly ;almost gleefully reporting and anticipating a dangerous retreat of British soldiers from Basara . BBC NEWS | UK | Three troops killed in Iraq named
Quote:
World affairs correspondent Paul Wood said an official announcement about the "dangerous retreat" to the airport would not be made until after the event to reduce the risk of attacks from insurgents.
And the BBC understands that British soldiers are expected to move from Basra city altogether to the airport "in the next few weeks over a single weekend".
So now the insurgents know that this "dangerous retreat" will occur within the next 3 weeks . Expect incidents of attacks on British troops to increase.
