I Learn From Mistakes

That's what Harry Reid wants to make clear in his opposition to the Iraq War. Initially, Reid was supportive of the war and was against the Feingold-Kerry bill that would have set a time-table for US withdrawal. However, a number of issues ranging from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the report that Iraq had devolved into civil war pushed Reid to believe he needed to do something differently. Recently Reid said the war could not be won militarily, but rather only through diplomacy. This seems to be along the same line of reasoning that many Americans have considered as support for the war continues to drop at home.
