As Congressional Democrats sought to reconcile their differences and send an Iraq spending bill to the White House, Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, said Thursday that "this war is lost," a stark assessment that Republicans argued would demoralize American troops fighting in Iraq.

"I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and -- you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows -- that this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq," Mr. Reid said.
After (quoting Reid):
. . . The president said, "Let's send some more troops over there, and that will give the Iraqis the time to take care of themselves." We sent other troops over there, and there are a lot of reasons the surge certainly hasn't hurt. It's helped. I recognize that.

He has been exposed for playing politics with our national security. If the media was not biased, they'd be all over this flip flop.
