Here's someone who shares Harry Reid's view that the Iraq war is "lost": Retired general Tony McPeak, who served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Gulf War.

Here's what McPeak had to say in the March 22 issue of Rolling Stone:

The war in Iraq isn't over yet, but -- surge or no surge -- the United States has already lost. That's the grim consensus of a panel of experts assembled by Rolling Stone to assess the future of Iraq. "Even if we had a million men to go in, it's too late now," says retired four-star Gen. Tony McPeak, who served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Gulf War. "Humpty Dumpty can't be put back together again."

McPeak also added: "It's not a question of whether we're going to leave Iraq -- it's a question of when." The whole Rolling Stone panel discussion is worth a read in light of Reid's remarks yesterday and the GOP's assault on them.

Side note to Michelle Malkin: Is Tony McPeak "treacherous"? (Of course, Malkin would probably say he's treacherous solely based on the fact that he opposed Bush's reelection in 2004.)
