In his own words
Friday, January 5th, 2007When I read the first quote on Thursday, I was skeptical. By Friday, my suspicions were confirmed.
“No issue in our country is more important than finding an end to this intractable war. Completing the mission in Iraq is the president’s job, and we will do everything in our power to ensure he fulfills it.” Sen. Harry Reid, January 4, 2007.
“Rather than deploy additional forces to Iraq, we believe the way forward is to begin the phased redeployment of our forces in the next four to six months, while shifting the principal mission of our forces there from combat to training, logistics, force protection and counter-terror.” Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, January 5, 2007.
