‘This war is lost’

What better day than the Fourth of July to re-examine one of Sen. Harry Reid's most outrageous statements.

It's been more than three years since Sen. Reid said "This war is lost" in reference to the "surge" in Iraq.

Was Sen. Reid playing politics with the lives of soldiers in Iraq?

However you answer that question, I make the case Sunday in the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he owes the country an explanation. Your readership and comments, as always, are appreciated.

In the meanwhile, I invite all striving for completeness to read this report on how a liberal PBS donor tried to squelch a documentary on how we won the "surge" in Iraq. It's worth your time.
