NEW MEMBER OF THE TRAITORS' CLUB?

Senator Harry (My hands are up and I've dropped my weapon) Reid is rapidly building up his resume to join the likes of such heroes of the Left as Jane Fonda and John F. Kerry. His statement that we have lost the war, I 'm sure, is comforting to the jihadists. His party's calling for surrender and retreat can't quite be characterized as Treason, or can it?

Here is some testimony that can be used at his impeachment trial for Treason:

Senator Reid:
When you say we've lost in Iraq, I don't think you understand the effect of your words. The Iraqis I speak with are the good guys here, fighting to build a stable government. They hear what you say, but they don't understand it. They don't know about the political game, they don't know about a Presidential veto, and they don't know about party politics.
But they do know that if they help us, they are noticed by terrorists and extremists. They decide to help us if they think we can protect them from those terrorists. They tell us where caches of weapons are hidden. They call and report small groups of men who are strangers to the neighborhood, men that look the same to us, but are obvious to them as a foreign suicide cell.

To be brief, your words are killing us. Your statements make the Iraqis afraid to help us for fear we'll leave them unprotected in the future. They don't report a cache, and its weapons blow up my friends in a convoy. They don't report a foreign fighter, and that fighter sends a mortar onto my base. Your statements are noticed, and they have an effect.

Finally, you are mistaken when you say we are losing. We are winning, I see it every day. However, we will win with fewer casualties if you help us. Will you?

Respectfully,

LT Jason Nichols, USN
MNF-I, Baghdad

'Nuff said.
