U.S. Democratic leader says Iraq war "lost"

"Now I believe ... this war is lost, and that the surge (U.S. troop increase in Iraq) is not accomplishing anything, as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," Reid said at a press conference.

Have you ever heard our enemy say their cause was "lost", or their battle was "lost"? I haven't. You know why? Because you DON'T SAY THAT. I mean, really.. I'm no politician, and no war strategist, but I'm pretty sure you don't announce to the world that you have lost the war, while you're still fighting it. It doesn't take Sun Tzu to figure that out.

I really wish the Dems would STFU, and stop politicizing the war. Or, at least, stop saying how we're "losing" every day and instead, oh.. I don't know.. come up with some ideas to NOT LOSE. I haven't heard of any, have you? Just a lot of nay-saying and talk which is only propaganda for the enemy.
