Dingey Harry: Troop Surge Has Failed, Calls General Pace Incompetant
Top US congressional Democrats bluntly told President George W. Bush Wednesday that his Iraq troop "surge" policy was a failure.
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter, ahead of a White House meeting later on Wednesday.
"As many had forseen, the escalation has failed to produce the intended results," the two leaders wrote.
"The increase in US forces has had little impact in curbing the violence or fostering political reconciliation.
"It has not enhanced Americas national security. The unsettling reality is that instances of violence against Iraqis remain high and attacks on US forces have increased.
"In fact, the last two months of the war were the deadliest to date for US troops.
The letter appeared to preview a fresh showdown over Iraq between anti-war Democrats and the president, just a few weeks after Bush forced his foes to strip troop withdrawal timelines from a 100 billion dollar emergency war budget.
It also came a few days after the US military mourned its 3,500th soldier killed in action in Iraq.
Pelosi and Reid told Bush in the letter that they planned to send him new legislation to "limit the US mission in Iraq, begin the phased redeployment of US forces, and bring the war to a responsible end."
On Tuesday, Reid said that Senate Democrats would attach troop withdrawal deadlines to a Defense Department Authorization bill, due to be debated within weeks.
The next critical point in the showdown between Bush and Congress over Iraq is expected in September, when US commander in Iraq David Petraeus is due to report on progress in the strategy to "surge" up to 30,000 more US troops into the war-ravaged nation.
Even senior Republicans have said they expected the president will have little choice but to make adjustments in the Iraq strategy, once the report is made public.

UPDATE:
Reid labels military leader 'incompetent'
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "incompetent" during an interview Tuesday with a group of liberal bloggers, a comment that was never reported.
Reid made similar disparaging remarks about Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said several sources familiar with the interview.
This is but the latest example of how Reid, under pressure from liberal activists to do more to stop the war, is going on the attack against President Bush and his military leaders in anticipation of a September showdown to end U.S. involvement in Iraq, according to Democratic senators and aides.
Reid, who was bashed by Republicans for suggesting earlier this year that the Iraq war was "lost," is lashing out at top commanders while putting the finishing touches on a plan to force a series of votes on Iraq designed exclusively to make Republicans up for reelection in 2008 go on record in favor of continuing an unpopular war.

I heard Quinn and Rose this morning. Quinn said that dingy harry was called "pinky" in high school. I think weenie is a better nick name.
incompetent?...dang he ought to look in the mirror Marie!!
Reid IS A MORON!!!!!!!!!
That's all I have to say about that!
Except to add HE'S A JERK ALSO!
I feel better now! LOL
Oh forgot, I'm posting a new interesting tid bit about Fred that I think you will like Yeee HAwwww
Something tragic must have happened to Reid. Perhaps his mommy dropped him on his head. I don't see how he can even talk considering the fact he's got his foot in his mouth most of the time.
Maybe we could use an alliance with the devil- the Democrats.
Despite their moronic anti-war rantings, maybe it would be better to get out of Iraq. What are our goals there? A democratic society cannot be built because it has no place in the Islamic world. The constitution has entrenched Sharia. We wouldn't even have to worry about fighting jihadis in Iraq if we simply wouldn't allow them to immigrate here. The best thing would be to curtail immigration from Islamic countries, get out of Iraq and let the Sunni-Shia divide reverberate across the Islamic world, tearing it apart. Let them kill each other.
P.S. I like your blog and I want to link to it. Visit mine and link.
Democrats have swept away many of the traditions of civil political discourse in their naked pursuit of power.
It used to be that we respected our military leaders and kept any disagreements about policy among the political leadership.
No more.
It used to be that politics stopped at the water's edge and we didn't criticize our government when overseas.
No more.
And worse still, Democrats cannot win political power except if we lose this war.
The Dennis Miller video on You Tube nails Reid!
Bar Kochba said...Despite their moronic anti-war rantings, maybe it would be better to get out of Iraq. What are our goals there? A democratic society cannot be built because it has no place in the Islamic world
My response to that line of thinking Bar Kochba is; to abandon Iraq now would be akin to the huge mistake the leaders of Israel made giving the Gaza back to the terrorists. All that was accomplished was giving the terrorists another base to operate out of and sadly the Gaza is right there for Israel to have to deal with.
If Iraq is abandoned by the US before a stable government is estblished it will be the people of Israel that will pay the price first and then the rest of world second. Be very careful for what you wish for.
"limit the US mission in Iraq, begin the phased redeployment of US forces, and bring the war to a responsible end."
It's unconscionable. By "limit the US mission" what they are doing is insuring that the current mission will fail. Wtf?
Mo,....ron!
Wow Marie,
Very well said Marie even Bar Kochba the closet liberal couldn't sneak one by you could they?
No Womanhonorthyself Harry Reid is beyond incompetent, he is down right a traitor and if no one else minds I'll say it to Harry Reid face to face myself.
Hi Marie.
I posted Iraq surge a failure check it out. Not as elaborate as yours.
Here's a another Reid finger picture.
I would like to know who it is that elects these boobs like this in to office in the first place.
Is the left that damn stupid?
How can we expect to win this war with MORONS like this in office?
We may as well just save time and money and give it up now, throw in the towel, send in Jane Fonda. Because I'm gonna tell you people right now.....we just ain't going to win the war with this crap going on. How the hell can we, with one of our hands tired behind our backs!
When Bush said “either your with us or against us” I thought he was talking to the rest of the world, not to the rest of our country!
It seems that half of our effort is fighting our own people.
Gee, I wonder why Reid has a 19% approval rating. I just don't get why people ever think a defeatist attitude is the way to go. And appeasing the left-wing kooks of your party isn't going to earn you any respect by the country at large.
I was simply "shocked and awed" by Nancy & Harry's remarks...not! Those two are idiots!!
Bar Kochba, I'm so tired of some people thinking that if our troops come home, we can get back to our pre-911 lives and live happily ever after. It ain't gonna happen! The terrorists will follow our troops and then be on our doorstep!
Is that what you truly want?
"What are our goals there?" To get rid of as many Al-Qaeda and other "foreign fighters" as possible, help Iraq build a stable government, get intelligence, etc.
"The best thing would be to curtail immigration from Islamic countries..." Have you heard of sleeper cells? Those who have lived in the U.S. for years and years just waiting to be activated?
I agree with one of the earlier commenters, "Be careful what you wish for!"
You are all right, what a bunch of great minds that come in here and grace my blog with your presence
:-)
Well, except for Bar lol, maybe I misunderstood him? Nah, I doubt it.
Please excuse me, I have been so allergy ridden I havent been able to even think straight or type what I want to say lately, I am trying to make my rounds, just bare with me :-)
