Harry Reid Defies Logic, Claims Surge Isn’t Working….
C’mon Harry, put politics aside for a second, even the NY Times and Murtha have grudgingly admitted it is working. US and Iraqi casualties have been steadily dropping for several months, but you wouldn’t know anything about that would ya?….
Democrats are increasingly bailing on their previously held view that the troop surge in Iraq has been a "failure," but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn’t ready to jump on the bandwagon with other Democrats who say the surge has worked.
But Reid, in a Monday press conference, ceded no ground.
"The surge hasn’t accomplished its goals," Reid said. "… We’re involved, still, in an intractable civil war."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took to the Senate floor on Monday to highlight the "stunning reversal" in Iraq, and chided Democrats, saying "unfortunately, talk of congratulations is scarce among the anti-war left."
Reid said Monday that the Senate still might take up a war funding bill before Christmas, and Democrats were still trying to find a compromise so it doesn’t look like they’ve caved in to the White House on troop funding. Democrats are considering tweaking troop withdrawal language to lure a few more GOP supporters so the Senate could achieve a 60-vote filibuster-proof margin.
"I think we’ll address war funding this month," Reid said.

He’s too chicken to go look for himself, like Murtha did. Reid’s rose colored glasses are fogged up with hate.
