Crush Liberalism

Someone check the forecast of Hell, because Abscam Jack “Let’s redeploy Iraq troops to ‘nearby’ Okinawa” Murtha conceded that the surge is working.  However, true to his prior word not to believe any progress reports from Iraq that might show the surge has reaped benefits, Harry “Land Shark” Reid dismisses his buddy Murtha’s observation.  From Politico:

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.

The Senate re-opened for business on Monday after a two-week Thanksgiving break, during which key Democrats traveled to Iraq and declared that the surge is working, at least from a security and military perspective. Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), one the top war critics, stunned fellow Democrats late last week with his statement that “the surge is working,” even though he added that political reconciliation has been lagging. Murtha’s view was backed by Rep. Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), who also said the surge worked after he returned from Iraq.

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.” 

Reid can almost taste the defeat, ergo he won’t allow anyone (including the insolent pukes within his own party) to pull the white flag out of his hand.

It’s official, Reid: You suck.  Big time.  Punk #ss b#tch.
