Oh, The Shame

I hope you all don't hold it against me, that I happen to harken from the same state as Harry Reid.
What I'm referring to is his comments on Bush's Veteran's Day speach last friday. The gist of which I finally got to read here.

Parroting the usual vomit, Reid says:

"On this Veterans Day, the president had the opportunity to honor our troops, both those who have served and those who are currently serving, by laying out a clear strategy for success in the war in Iraq. Instead, the president resorted to his old playbook of discredited rhetoric about the War on Terror and political attacks as his own political fortunes and credibility diminish," Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said in a statement.

"Attacking those patriotic Americans who have raised serious questions about the case the Bush administration made to take our country to war does not provide us a plan for success that will bring our troops home."

This asshole grew up in a teensy mining town of about 2000 people, in the middle of the desert. Obviously, he spent too much time out of doors in the hot sun sniffing arsenic fumes and chewing on paint chips.

And of course, Kennedy has to add his 2 cents worth of spittle:

"It's deeply regrettable that the president is using Veterans Day as a campaign-like attempt to rebuild his own credibility by tearing down those who seek the truth about the clear manipulation of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war," added Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. "Instead of providing open and honest answers about how we will achieve success in Iraq and allow our troops to begin to come home, the president reverted to the same manipulation of facts to justify a war we never should have fought."

Good gawd. You would think they would read, or re-read, their own intelligence reports. Since they were after all, the same ones Bush was privvy to. But no, they would rather try to slam Bush, discredit his actions, bring on bad morale, and further their own objectives.

If there was even half the postitive "Support Our Troops" attitude today as there was back during 'The Big One', these morons would be labelled as communists and tossed over the Canadian border. Or shot.
Which, if I had my druthers - well - I wouldn't wish them on any other country.
