Harry Reid: The Iraq War is Lost

HeadlineApr 20, 2007

In Washington, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has admitted for the first time that the war in Iraq has been lost. Reid said, “This war is lost, and the surge is not accomplishing anything, as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.” On Wednesday, over 300 Iraqis died, making it one of the bloodiest days on the war. The U.S. commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus, admitted the events on Wednesday marked a setback for the U.S.

Gen. Petraeus: “Yesterday was a bad day. There are no two ways about it. And a day like that can have a real psychological impact.”
