Who else thinks the war is lost

So we all know now that Harry Reid said the war is lost right? If you didn’t (GET OFF MY FUCKING PLANET) or read this and then join this disucssion

REID: This war is lost, and that the surge is not accomplishing anything, as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.

then he said this seconds later…

 ” My conscience is clear, because I believe the war, at this stage, can only be won diplomatically, politically, and economically.”

But hey, more of that liberal media bias at work, I’m sure you heard that. So as the blurb made the rounds and the War mongers clawed onto that remark I used the magic tubes to see who else thinks the war is lost, besides like 60% of the country it was hard to find credible people to back Harry up.   

Go figure I found something….

“I don’t think that you can kill the insurgency,” said W. Andrew Terrill, professor at the Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute, the top expert on Iraq there. “If you are a Muslim and the community is under occupation by a non-Islamic power, it becomes a religious requirement to resist that occupation,” Terrill explained. “Most Iraqis consider us occupiers, not liberators.”

Retired Gen. William Odom, former head of the National Security Agency, told me: “Bush hasn’t found the WMD. Al-Qaida, it’s worse — he’s lost on that front. That he’s going to achieve a democracy there? That goal is lost, too. It’s lost.” He added: “Right now, the course we’re on, we’re achieving [Osama] bin Laden’s ends.”

Retired Gen. Joseph Hoar, the former Marine commandant and head of the U.S. Central Command, told me: “The idea that this is going to go the way these guys planned is ludicrous. There are no good options. We’re conducting a campaign as though it were being conducted in Iowa, no sense of the realities on the ground. It’s so unrealistic for anyone who knows that part of the world. The priorities are just all wrong.”

“I see no ray of light on the horizon at all,” said Jeffrey Record, professor of strategy at the Air War College. “The worst case has become true. There’s no analogy whatsoever between the situation in Iraq and the advantages we had after World War II in Germany and Japan.”

oh, did I mention this article was written September 2004? But hey, what do these guys know? 3 years since then, we proved those FUCKING TRAITORS WRONG!
