During the Xlinton era, we routinely opposed various generals like Weasly Clark. FR also made some flack over other generals.

I don't recall that being considered a bashing of the troops.

Anyway, I'm not agreeing with the MoveOns in any way in their vicious attack on Petraeus. But I don't accept that disagreeing with a general or with the president (say a President Hillary or a President Bill) is a bashing of the troops. We used to bash General Clark and President Xlinton daily on this site over Kosovo and Somalia. And Secretary Les Aspin too.

I recall President Lincoln did some troop-bashing and president-bashing when he was a Whig congressman in opposition to Polk. And he did some general-bashing when president. There are many other examples of this kind of dissent as well.

Move.on.org=George Soros. Soros is a foreigner, a self described “citizen of the world.” He has no love for or loyalty to the United States. So America can expect nothing from him other than an ungrateful stab in the back. But the likes of Obama, Hillary and Edwards have failed to distance themselves from the Soros libel, and Hillary even seemed to confirm it. How could any real American consider voting for any of these people?
