Video: Senator Harry Reid on Iraq, President Bush and General Petraeus
When President Bush gave a speech on April 10 declaring a “major strategic shift” in Iraq following the U.S. troop surge, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it “can only be described as one step forward and two steps back.” The video above has more of his reaction.
A former boxer raised in the small desert mining town of Searchlight, Nevada, Senator Reid has earned his “Give ‘Em Hell Harry” reputation. His autobiography, The Good Fight, hits bookstores on May 1 (read more in the Las Vegas Sun) and he’ll be making a rare New York appearance at the 92nd Street Y with Jeff Greenfield on May 8 to talk about his personal journey, tireless work in the Senate and the upcoming election.
