Reid Offers to Compromise to End the War
2007-08-31
Saying the coming weeks will be "one of the last opportunities" to alter the course of the war, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said he is now willing to compromise with Republicans to find ways to limit troop deployments in Iraq.

Reid acknowledged that his previous firm demand for a spring withdrawal deadline had become an obstacle for a small but growing number of Republicans who have said they want to end the war but have been unwilling to set a timeline.

"I don't think we have to think that our way is the only way," Reid said of specific dates during an interview in his office here. "I'm not saying, 'Republicans, do what we want to do.' Just give me something that you think you would like to do, that accomplishes some or all of what I want to do."
Gee, whotta concept! I leaned that in Mock Legislature in 1982!
Having had his ears boxed, he's now willing to reach out. Now he's going to learn the concept of the 'stiffarm' ...

#9  Just give me something that you think you would like to do, that accomplishes some or all of what I want to do." He's not "reaching out" at all. He wants what he wants and to hell with everybody else. His idea of reaching out is "Give me what I want".

#7  the arrogant little corrupt POS got his ass handed to him legislatively and politically. Only Nancy looks more incompetent, and that's because of the bug-eyed blinking. Now....he says he'll compromise a bit if teh Reps stand up against Bush. That's a false compromise. Keep grilling Harry, he's almost done. When the Nutroots rise up and split the Donk party, things will improve for America

#3  Reid also recalled his first visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

The war's been going on for years, but the Senator from Nevada only got around last year to visit the troops. Could'd have been because he smelled 'political' blood? So, how were the photo ops? Of course, you've been back weekly since, right Senator?
