There's more at the link above.
Quote: | WASHINGTON — The ranking Republican in the House Armed Services Committee called on House Majority Leader Harry Reid to resign Wednesday over his declaration that the Iraq war is "lost."
Rep. Duncan Hunter — a 2008 presidential candidate — wrote in a letter that Reid's comments "can have no effect but to demoralize the brave men and women, who are honorably fulfilling their mission in Iraq, and to encourage our adversaries."
"Even if you sincerely believe it to be true, your pronouncement of failure will undoubtedly be used by terrorist leaders to rally their followers — inevitably leading to increased attacks on U.S. and coalition forces," Hunter wrote. |

Here is hoping it gains some traction. But I am not holding my breath. |

I'd like to see Citizens of Nevada recall him for his actions.
I won't hold my breath there, either. _________________ Clark County Conservative |

Fixed! Thanks Sixdog for pointing that out. I was thinking of Ried.
I don't think anything is going to come out of this either. |

Harriet Reid probably wants to be 'friends' with A.Q. so they won't take out Hoover Dam, the primary source of Vegas electricity. |

Last time I checked the Constitution, the Senate was one of the two houses of Congress which means both are Members of Congress. The only real difference between members of the two houses is that Senators are more likely to have an inflated sense of their importance and abilities. _________________ "That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoe making and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poor house."

Sure wish he'd resign but we'll all turn blue holding out breaths for that to happen.
Like Me#1 said in another thread, this isn't the same America that her father knew.
I don't recall any senators standing up and saying the war was lost during WWII. If they had, they would have been stoned at least.
