Chief Senate Dem to Request Iraq Exit Plan

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

WASHINGTON - In a pre-State of the Union challenge to President Bush, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid intends to call Monday for the administration to outline an exit strategy for Iraq.

Reid plans to raise the issue as part of back-to-back speeches in which he and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi will sketch outline their differences with Bush on two issues likely to dominate Congress' work this year, the war on terror and Social Security.

"The president needs to spell out a real and understandable plan for the unfinished work ahead: defeat the growing insurgency, rebuild Iraq, increase political participation by all parties, especially moderates, and increase international involvement," Reid will say, according to his prepared remarks.

"Most of all we need an exit strategy so we know what victory is and how we can get there; so that we know what we need to do and so that we know when the job is done."

1. WOOHOO!!!

I am already liking Reid better than Daschle.

4. I Saw Reid In An Impromptu Interview Last week

He was nowhere near as equivocating as Daschle.

Seemed he might actually have grit left in some of his old bones.

5. Never underestimate Harry Reid...

Never underestimate Harry Reid or his sidekick, Dick Durban. These two are fighters and will keep Frist and his wing nut Republican caucus looking over their shoulders every minute.
