"I don't consider politicians changing their views based upon the latest polls or peer pressure as "reality"."

Who said it was the polls? The situation is a lot worse than it was in 2004.

"Reid ""If the commanders on the ground said this is just for a short period of time, we'll go along with that,""

Reid may have thought there was a consensus, but there wasn't. Besides, most of the commanders on the aren't calling for more troops, and several have stated it would be counter-productive.

No nuance. Just no cherry picking. When you look at all the facts, the picture is very different from the one you are trying to paint.
