Will Reid And Pelosi Disappoint?

I have listened to two of the most intellectually challenged members of the US Congress for too long, to have any respect for them as leaders. They never really have been and it's clear that they are not capable of leading such important bodies, as are the U.S. House and Senate.

Here's why I say this:

Here is a new story coming from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The top U.S. military officer said Saturday that the Pentagon could double the number of American forces in Afghanistan by next summer to 60,000 - the largest estimate of potential reinforcements ever publicly suggested.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that between 20,000 and 30,000 additional U.S. troops could be sent to Afghanistan to bolster the 31,000 already there.

Considering how unwelcome the Iraqis are making us feel right now. I have no problem with this idea. In fact, I would take some of the troops from those slotted to staff in Iraq. I would not pull them directly from Iraq. Think of it as a surge, like the one that was so successful there.

This is where Harry and Nancy come into the theme of this post. You may remember Harry saying that the surge would not work, we all heard it ad nauseum. Equally, you heard Pelosi squawking about how much of a failure everything was, right up to the end. This leads to some pertinent questions:

1. Will we hear the same things coming out of Reid's and Pelosi's mouth, this time?

2. Will they say the war is lost before the surge would even have a chance in Afghanistan?

3. Will they now support such a strategy, now that Obama will be Commander-In-Chief?

4. Will Reid and Pelosi threaten to pull the plug on the money?

My guess is, the responses will be entirely the opposite of the way both of these so-called leaders have behaved, heretofore. I think we all know the way this is going to play out.
