MoveOn.org Calls Petraeus a Traitor
Tomorrow–as General David Petraeus provides his Iraq assessment to Congress–the antiwar group MoveOn.org is running a full-page advertisement in the New York Times under the headline: “General Petraeus or General Betray us? Cooking the books for the White House.”
Let’s be clear: MoveOn.org is suggesting that General Petraeus has ‘betrayed’ his country. This is disgusting. To attack as a traitor an American general commanding forces in war because his ‘on the ground’ experience does not align with MoveOn.org’s political objectives is utterly shameful. It shows contempt for America’s military leadership, as well as for the troops who have confidence in him, as our fellow soldiers in Iraq certainly do.
No, it just shows the MoveOn people as what they are: America-hating subversives who are in thrall to our enemies either because of outright treason or due to self-destructive stupidity on a monumental scale.
MoveOn.org has been working closely with the Democratic congressional leadership –as an article in today’s Sunday New York Times Magazine makes clear. And consider this comment by a Democratic senator from Friday’s Politico: “‘No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV,’ noted one Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition on anonymity. ‘The expectation is that the outside groups will do this forus.’
I want to know who this Democratic senator is.

Well, if it’s the “thought process” that counts, you could pick any one of them , with just a few exceptions.
Nah. Small dogs yap when they see you, not recognizing their impotence. Not disgusting. At most annoying.
While this is quite true, as someone who has owned a small dog, I demand that you apologize to the dogs. To compare them to moveon is an outrage.
