I'm thinking that Harry Reid's usefulness as Senate Majority Leader has just come to a crashing end.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
We're off to bomb Iran
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the Pearly Gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! We're all gonna die

2. You've been cheering for that since November 2006.
The Reid part of your comment, anyhow.

3. Well, is he still of use to progressive Democrats or not?
Help me out, here. I'm feeling rather demoralized at the moment.

4. Well, you tell me.
What do you know about the resolution that was passed today? The details, that is, of what was actually passed.

5. I've already read it...
Turns out that the "General Betray Us" report has been given carte blanche by the Senate, despite the fact that the Bush administration wrote it and stuffed it into Petraeus' hand. The Senate has given Herr Decider an inch, and you and I both know he's going to take a mile.

Maybe we didn't hand Herr Decider a gun, but we handed him a receiver, slide, trigger, handgrips, and a magazine chock full of bullets. All he needs is a little time and a handful of rivets, and he's got a gun anyway.
