Stewart A. Alexander
During the month of April 2007 U.S. Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid told President Bush and the nation “That this war is lost,” referring to the Iraq War; April was one of the deadliest months since the 2003 U.S. lead invasion into Iraq.

Reid has been very skeptical that a troop surge, an additional 30,000 troops, will help to reduce the violence and bloodshed in Iraq; a war that has entrenched American forces in the midst of a bloody civil war. There are presently 146,000 American troops in Iraq.

Reid also used the example of the Vietnam War; 40 years ago President Lyndon Johnson chose to increase the troop levels in that war. The troop surge only produced failing results and America was force to withdraw after eight additional years of occupation.

Reid is now opposing the Iraq War because the U.S. is losing; he initially supported the war and backed the invasion. The war is another imperial adventure by the U.S. and there is a growing divide, by those supporters of U.S. imperialism, that a continued war is weakening U.S. imperialism.
