Representative Silvestre Reyes, the Democrats' Intelligence Chairman, is...an idiot.
First, when asked by Jeff Stein whether Al-Qaeda is predominantly Shi'ite or Sunni, he responded, "Predominantly, probably Shi'ite." Yeah, and I'm "predominantly, probably" theist.
Second, before President Bush announced his plan to increase troops, Rep. Reyes, had this to say, "We have to consider the need for additional troops to be in Iraq, to take out the militias and stabilize Iraq...I would say 20,000 to 30,000." Of course, he changed his tone immediately after President Bush put his plan on the table, "We don't have the capability to escalate even to this minimum level."
I'm with Mr. Stein in saying, "He [Reyes] couldn't be more wrong."
