Harry Reid: Please Ignore The Fact That The Iraqis Will Be Slaughtered If We Pull Our Troops Out In Domestic Issues, Politics, War On Terror Say Anything ABC’s Jack Tapper tried to get Harry Reid to go on record as to whether or not the Iraqi citizens will be safer should we leave Iraq. Reid’s response? A non-answer, a snide comment for Tapper and then a quick change of subject. <<< TAPPER: I’m sorry, if I could just follow up very quickly...Do you think the Iraqi people will be safer with U.S. troops out? REID: It is clear that the Iraqi people don’t want us there. It is clear that there is now a state of chaos in Iraq. And it is up to the Iraqi people to make themselves safe….We can’t do it. It’s time the training wheels come off and they take care of their own country. We have spent billions dollars. We’re now spending $12 billion a month on Iraq. That’s enough. In the last six months of the surge, six months, 600 more dead Americans, $60 billion more of American taxpayers’ money. We, Democrats, unitedly believe that’s enough. TAPPER: With all due respect, Senator, you didn’t answer my question. REID: OK. This is not a debate. TAPPER: Will the Iraqis be safer? REID: We’re answering questions. (calling on someone else) Yes, young man? Anyone else have a question? >>> For all the rhetoric about “ending the violence in Iraq” few on the left are willing to admit that if we bring our troops home before Iraq is secured the violence will get worse. Genocide. Rivaling factions slaughtering one another. Terror/insurgency groups sponsored by Iran, Syria and other nations wiping out each other and whatever civilians get their way all in desperate bids to fill the power vacuum that would be left once our troops were gone. Now maybe the people on the left who oppose the war think this is acceptable (which would make most of them hypocrites given their rhetoric about civilian casualties and the violence in places like Darfur), but they should at least have to account for it when they voice their stance on the war. They should have to acknowledge that it will happen, and tell us why it’s ok to let it happen. feeds.feedburner.com blogs.abcnews.com
