For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Harry Reid takes credit for the surge working:

The people of this country recognize that the war in Iraq was the worst foreign policy blunder in the history of this country. And we've done everything we can to support the troops. It was us, the Democrats, who realized that parents shouldn't be buying armor and sending it to Iraq for their sons and daughters, so we pushed, and we got body armor.We're the ones that pushed for up-armoring the Humvees and other vehicles.

Rush predicted last week the Dems would eventually try to take credit for the war once we do indeed prevail. Any thoughts?

Finally, please support NewsBusters and its work with a tax-deductible year-end donation. We can provide NewsBusters as free services only because of the thousands of concerned conservatives who support the MRC (our parent organization) financially each year and make possible the unique research operation behind the MRC's ongoing efforts to document, expose, and neutralize liberal media bias. If you contribute $100 or more, we will send you a complimentary copy of MRC President Brent Bozell’s new book, Whitewash: What the Media Won’t Tell You About Hillary Clinton, but Conservatives Will. The book will ship in January.

To donate, via credit card online or by snail mail, go here. Thank you.
