To no one's surprise, the character assassins haven't waited for Gen. David Petraeus to deliver his report on the Iraqi troop "surge" before starting the campaign to trash his honor and reputation. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed Gen. Petraeus made statements "over the years that have not proved to be factual," and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin suggested Gen. Petraeus had "manipulated" statistics. The Democrats' ideological soulmates at MoveOn.org have an advertisement scheduled to run in today's New York Times titled: "General Petraeus or Gen. Betray Us?" The MoveOn.org announcement in particular is worth keeping in mind the next time you hear lectures from the Democrats and the far left about how the Bush administration is "questioning our patriotism."

Can anyone explain why they would vote to confirm a liar? I think I know. They’re chickenshats!
I thought we lived in a country innocent until proven Guilty!
What is going on here every one is Guilty until the Dems prove them innocent!
The Dems cannot afford to have a success over there.
It would be their worst nightmare since Reagan. They are pulling out all stops.
“questioning our patriotism”.
What a joke. These people are traitors, plain and simple.
These anti-American cowards are focused on failure in Iraq in the hopes of improving Democrat party grip on power in the U.S.
They have no interest in defeating terrorism and in fact have none other than UBL espousing the views and objectives of the DNC.
It seems as though the democrat leadership is driven by satan himself!
As if?
These people are so blatantly underhanded, how could any objective person take them seriously?
“questioning our patriotism.”
Can’t question something that doesn’t exist.”
Right, it’s like questioning their moral standards.
AOL poll..Who now has the initiative on the Iraq debate..supporters or anti-war forces?
Gen. Petraeus - would he be considered a ‘public’ person so he has no recourse to sue moveon.org? Would that be the same relating to all military people? I’m hoping that that is not the case. Not that Petraeus would sue, but there is life after military life and this sort of thing is just dirty.
