Sen. Harry Reid (Majority Leader - Nevada, Mousi pugiliticus)

“[T]here is no purely military solution in Iraq, there is only a political solution in Iraq... [A]dding more U.S. combat troops in the middle of this civil war undermines our efforts.”

**I'm the first to admit the military solution in Iraq isn't easy, not that it should be as difficult as we have made it due to hamstringing our troops and intelligence agencies........But anyone who thinks there is a diplomatic answer to dealing with the crazy Jihadists is a utopian fool.

Which is exactly why Democrats think there is a diplomatic answer..........I hope you can do the calculus of the last two statements.**
