Dems join GOP in slamming ad attacking Petraeus
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was among those who disavowed the ad Monday.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – A liberal advocacy group's print ad attacking Gen. David Petraeus drew a firestorm of criticism from both sides of the aisle on Monday.
The ad, running in Monday's edition of the New York Times, shows a picture of Petraeus. Bold letters spell out "General Petraeus or General Betray us?"
Moveon.org Political Action, which paid for the ad, accuses Petraeus of "cooking the books for the White House" on progress being made in Iraq and calls him "a military man constantly at war with the facts."

Aren't the same people who subscribe to moveon.org also the ones who say "support our troops" out of the corner of their mouths, hoping that phrase will somehow make them look like an American?

Character assassination of an American war hero is their goal. Moveon.org, CNN and the Democratic National Party are three peas in a pod.

Is Sen. Reid upset because he didn't think of that line first? As the article says, "Democrats are prepared to focus on 'Petraeus executing a mismanaged mission.'"
So, before seeing or hearing anything, the method of dismantling the 'report' is already on the table.
All of these Senate hearings and inquiryies are nothing more than grandstanding to argue and pander to groups. If the report is contrary to what the Senator wants to hear, it'll be a lie, or the new hot phrase I'm seeing now is 'cookked the books'.
If it agrees with Reid's position it will be an amazing tome of objective observation.
Of course, Sen Reid "supports the troops", but isn't the General a "troop"?

but the ad shows the true face of the Democratic organization, Harry - un-American, degredating to our freedom and against the United States mililtary.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------At least this administration had the guts to do something. If any of the former Democratic candidates had been in office when 9/11 happened, nothing would have been done and we would have attacks taking place on American soil.
Not everyone in this country agrees that the war is wrong. I'm tired of a few people speaking for the rest of us. I support the President, the Congress and most of all, the men and women on the frontlines defending this country and trying to bring freedom to others.
All it takes for evil to win out is for good people to do nothing.
