Only a scumbag like Harry Reid would have the chutzpah to claim any responsibility for U.S. victory in Iraq. Any success we’ve had in Iraq has been in spite of him and his cowardly colleagues.

If you recall, Harry Reid went on national television fairly early on in the war and declared “the war is lost.” Which is a stunning statement for a U.S. senator to make while our men and women are on the battlefield.

In fact, prior to the Bush administration you’d be hard pressed to find a more treasonous statement by any member of Congress — ever. The bottom line is that Harry Reid is a real piece of sh*t. His outrageous behavior likely fed into Iraq’s insurgency and gave the terrorists a renewed hope they might win after all.

So, it’s particularly disgusting to see Reid on “Meet The Press” say this:

What a weasel. That really is horrible.
