The clueless Harry Reid

Jim Geraghty:

Well, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid may not have realized he was calling for the U.S. to recognize Iran’s mullahs as their legitimate leaders and for the U.S. to formally reestablish a diplomatic relationship. But it’s hard to see how the administration could follow his advice without doing just that:

The Bush administration is relying too heavily on other countries in the international effort to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, according to Sen. Harry Reid.

Reid, D-Nev., said the administration should be taking the lead, but instead is relying on Germany, France and Great Britain to convince Iran to end its uranium enrichment program.

"It is hard to comprehend," Reid said Tuesday in Reno. "We should be involved at trying to arrive at a diplomatic solution. ... Not just these three countries."

...

Well that is one way to reward the ayatollahs. Is Reid really that clueless or does he just get wo wrapped in Democrat talking points that he cannot remember which end is up? Maybe John Kerry's cluelesness is rubbing off. I think it also may be the Bush teams unintended rope-a-dope since they never really responded to Kerry's nonsense either.
