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.

General Petraeus has served this country for over 35 years with honor, distinction, and integrity. And this is not just about General Petraeus. After all, if General Petraeus is "cooking the books," then the entire military chain of command in Baghdad, and all the staff, military and civilian, who have been working with General Petraeus are complicit, since Petraeus did not write his report in isolation. They are all, apparently, 'betray[ing] us.'

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 for

us.'

So, veterans who served in Iraq ask the Democratic leaders in Congress: Does MoveOn.org speak for you? Do you agree with MoveOn.org? Or do you repudiate this despicable charge?

MoveOn.org has helped frame the core choice: Whom do we trust to run this war--MoveOn.org and its allies in Congress, or Gen. David Petraeus and his colleagues?

The liberals in Congress are showing again their Viet Nam era colors ...  yellow.

Not a nice thing to say? Maybe not but that is nice compared to the things that they are saying about true heroes that are risking their lives so these incompetents can have their freedoms. Each and everyone of these people need to spend some time on the front lines of this War on Terror and if they continue in the direction they are going they will indeed be on those front lines right where they are currently sitting.

Hello Pastor Roger,

I think that your comments represent a compliment that is much higher than they deserve. It has become painfully apparent that many people have personal and political agendas that are more important than our national security and the future safety of our people. Some will only be pleased with defeat for reasons that ARE NOT good for any country in the world. Their baloney and dishonesty isn't hidden, and it's my opinion that many of them are committing TREASON!

Yep, and it is war time, war rules should be observed.
