After hearing all about it, I actually saw the MoveOn.org ad on this today. I have NO IDEA what the big fuss is about. Really... why are some people all up in arms about this? Wow... the MoveOn folks think Petraeus is being a shill for the administration (frankly I don't think that's really news). So?

Keith Olbermann gave one of his special comments last night pointing out how the GOP smears vets at the drop of a dime when it suits their political agenda. How is Bill the GOP?

Our war is over, we won. Now the war is Shiites vs Sunnis fighting like selfish asses for a power vacuum.

I have seen lots of GOP attacks on MoveOn.Org because MoveOn had the audacity to challenge the report of Petraus. I have yet to hear any GOPer claim that MoveOn's charges are not true.

Why don't you join up, go over in a combat unit, not as some REMF, and see how "over" our war is?

It should be noted that MoveOn didn't come up with the play on the general's name. It'd been floating around for some time and is rumored to have originated from troops serving in Iraq.

I'm sorry but you can't just export your embarrassments that easy. We wouldn't dream of doing such a thing to you.

I don't see what is wrong with either proposal? Troops who volunteered to serve are only being asked to fulfill a contract that each and every one signed with the Army.

On the one hand, the Senate could have chosen to spend its time passing meaningful legislation on Iraq, and on the other hand it chose to pass legislation that does nothing but score political points with morons.

Oh, it should also be noted that the "second ad" MoveOn has decided to run on a vote of 3.1 million to 100k called "Congressional Representation or 'Ass-kissing little chickensh*ts'" doesn't actually exist. It's satire making light of Congress (or rather, Republicans) wasting time (and taxpayers' money) on the general being called a name.

Oh well. I suspect that the general has said this in private as well, as in he really isn't as hot and bothered by it. But leave it to Congressional Republicans to leap at the chance to, uh, do something or whatever.

The "patriots" may be foreigners who are traitors, and the "traitors" may be foreigners who are patriots.

But most likely they are all just misplaced bananas.

In any case I woudn't have a problem with the add if they had put it up after his report. As it is, all it shows is that moveon and their ilk doesn't really care about what is actually going on but rather want what they want regardless.
