Nice Work Reid

Here's a list of other phrases Harry Reid could have used to explain the war;

"a mission that is impossible to achieve militarily."
"Already won, there is nothing more our soliders can do"
"A mission only the Iraqis can win."
"A flawed plan that cannot be achieve with force"

"Lost" implies failure. It implies those on the ground failed. They didn't fail, the administration failed. Don't take it out on the troops.

The war is "lost," but that word is not something good to use until after the fact, The war is "won as best as it can" probably would've been a better remark.

You know the Republicans salvate over the possibility to pushing the Democrats into a corner where they can be looked at as weak, defeatist and cowardly. Don't give them any ammo they can use to brainwash the American people into thinking they're "brave" again.
