In another show of blatant hypocracy from the Democratic Party, minority leader Harry Reid denounced the Bush Adminstration for depending on the cooperation of other countries in order to quell the current Iran nuclear crisis:

RENO, Nev. - 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.”

Reid said the Middle East is a “powder keg” because of U.S. failures in Iraq, the rise of fundamentalism and the recent election of Hamas in Palestine.

“Our not being involved diplomatically in trying to solve the situation in Iran shows the Bush failure in foreign policy there and elsewhere.”

All during the 2004 election cycle, the Democratic Party denounced the Bush Administration for “going it alone” in Iraq, while the reality was that the “coalition of the willing” included more than 30 countries. Now Harry Reid has flip-flopped and blamed President Bush for building a major international consensus against Iran’s nuclear development. The question is “What does the Democratic Party really want?” Does the party really want to help America and do the people’s business or does it want to gain power by obstructing every major action the Bush Administration takes to protect this country? Here we see Harry Reid does not want to contribute to anything constructive in the Iranian dialogue, but would rather play politics with this country’s security priorities.
