Someone Should Tell Them to Move On

The right of dissent is fundamental to freedom. But as the great Harlan Ellison is fond of saying, you are not entitled to your opinion – you are entitled to an informed opinion.

In their latest fundraising email to supporters MoveOn edges toward the line of American betrayal while leaving the facts behind.

Criticizing the administration’s request for an additional $82 billion in Iraq-Afghanistan/anti-terror funding, MoveOn points out that $600 million will go towards an Iraq embassy and “an absence of an exit strategy” that will “worse, not improve the situation in Iraq.”

The vast majority of Democrats have already signaled their support for the funding request. Even John Kerry indicates he will support the bill. Still, MoveOn writes:

<<<

“The situation continues to worsen. In February of this year there was an average of 70 attacks per day by insurgents. A year ago, the average number of attacks per day was 14. Similarly, the number of insurgents has more than tripled over the last year.”
>>>

All non-partisan indicators contradict MoveOn’s claims. Since the Iraqi elections, U.S. casualties have significantly dropped and support for insurgents evaporates as the Iraqis segue into sovereign power. For MoveOn to cash-in on the sacrifice of Iraq's heroes shows where their true intentions and desires lie.
