Both my regular readers know that I don't often comment on things that are painfully obvious, but I'm making an exception.

Harry Reid should resign.

One definition of treason is "giving aid and comfort to our enemies." When Reid said "this war is lost," he echoes what many liberals feel. However that doesn't make it true. And most people that think we've lost the war in Iraq aren't treasonous, they're just stupid liberals.

Our political leaders, however, must be held to a higher standard. I'm not saying they can't be stupid — that's their right. But Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, is quoted by al Jazeera with the observation "The US war in Iraq is lost and a further build-up of US troops in the country will not recover the situation, the senior Democrat in the US senate has said."

I'm not naive enough to believe he'd ever be prosecuted, but that his actions can be construed as giving aid and comfort to the enemy is despicable, and proof that he is ill-suited to represent his state.

Harry Reid should resign.
