CNN's John Roberts: White House Press Secretary Dana Perino joins me now from the north lawn of The White House. Dana, good morning, thanks very much for joining us, we really appreciate it. What is The White House saying about what Harry Reid said yesterday?" (CNN's "Live" 4/20/07)
White House Press Secretary, Dana Perino: "Well, it sort of shocked my system. I had seen Harry Reid at The White House the day before, in which those sentiments were not expressed and his comments about the war being lost are in direct conflict with what commanders on the ground are saying and General Petraeus, yesterday, in his express opinion that we have a lot of work to do but we're seeing some signs of hope with the Baghdad security plan. It makes you wonder if this is his true feeling that he believes the war is lost, then is he going to have the courage of his convictions and be willing to suffer the consequences and actually de-fund the war?"
