Are there any Americans or anyone in the World for that matter who has not heard Harry Reid's, We are Losing the War Litany?

                     Iraq war is 'lost': US Democrat leader 

The war in Iraq "is lost" and a US troop surge is failing to bring peace to the country, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Congress, Harry Reid, said Thursday.

"I believe ... that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week," Reid told journalists.

 

 

 

It makes one wonder if the man even knows what losing is.  So I decided to put together some visual aids.

 

A sort of Losing for Dummies. I may not be able to educate Runaway Reid,  but maybe someone will read this and get a perspective

 

Harry THIS is what LOSING looks like

 

We LOST the Philippines.  The image above is what DEFEAT looks like.

 

Here is another image that shows what losing looks like.

 

That my friends is what it looks like when Americans act like Americans and refuse to accept defeat.

 

 

How many times in our Past have Americans refused to accept defeat and snatched victory as a result?

"I have not yet begun to fight!"  Those were the  words  of John Paul Jones 

 . On September 23, 1779, Jones fought one of the bloodiest engagements in naval history. Jones struggled with the 44-gun Royal Navy frigate Serapis, and although his own vessel was burning and sinking, Jones would not accept the British demand for surrender, replying, “I have not yet begun to fight.” More than three hours later, Serapis surrendered and Jones took command.

Too bad we cannot bring the Shade of the Captain of the Serapis to the present so he could explain to Harry Reid what losing looks like.

 Out manned, out gunned, in a ship that was sinking, John Paul Jones refused to accept Defeat and Won the Day.

 Harry Reid's definition of Defeat seems to be, "They are still shooting at us"!

I could give other examples, but it might be best to keep this simple so maybe it will make an impression on the simple minds that think the War in Iraq is lost.
