words mean things....
I just read this: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday the war in Iraq is "lost," triggering an angry backlash by Republicans, who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops. (c) Associated Press.
Does the Senator take any responsibility for his words? Does he have a clue that making remarks such as this undermines the work that the troops are doing and would certainly give "comfort" to our enemy, in letting them know that one of our leaders is willing to "give up".
I'm surprised that not only are Republicans upset with these words, but Democrats should be concerned with this sort of loose talk. In fact, the news media should be up in arms regarding these words as well.
