On April 18, Reid had told President Bush "what he needed to hear" about the war --
"I was like the odd guy out yesterday at the White House, but I at least told him what he needed to hear, not what he wanted to hear. And more people have to start telling George Bush what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. I did that. My conscience is clear, because I believe the war, at this stage, can only be won diplomatically, politically, and economically."

Reid is advocating a "political solution" in Iraq and asserting that "there is still a chance to change course."
Isn't that what James Baker and the Iraq study group recommended too. I understand Reid was quoted correctly in France. The U.S. media has a rotten agenda and it certainly is not a left bias.
