THE ATTACK TOO FAR

MoveOn.org, the slimiest of defeatist, anti-American groups, saw fit this week to personally attack General David Petraeus in a full-page NY Times add calling him "General Betray Us". This is the depths to which the crybaby left has sunk in the throes of their Bush-hating orgy. Allow me to provide a few details about General Petraeus you probably won't hear in the media.

Gen. Petraeus has been awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, twice awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and Defense Superior Service Medal, and has been awarded the Legion of Merit four times. He has also received the State Department Superior Honor award, and, most impressively, the Bronze Star with "V" device for valor. He was the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (class of '83), and holds a PhD in international relations from Princeton. He has also served as an instructor in that subject at West Point. Here is a good man who has served his country for his entire life, been frequently recognized for superior service, and now somehow qualifies for a political lynching from the left.

The radical anti-war left have, ironically, shot themselves in the foot again. We have come to expect this sort of treasonous attack from MoveOn. These are the same mental midgets who morph Bush into Hitler, or Nixon, or whoever their boogeyman of the month is. Originally formed to "move on" from the Clinton impeachment, the group has become a frequent reminder of the dangerous policies advocated by Democraps. Bin Laden himself could not have crafted a more cowardly attack on the American military. Of course, the Dems no longer have any respect at all for military service, and we've seen countless examples of it in the past year. the only time they "support the troops" is when they're able to use them as a political cudgel. The left does not support our military, has no appreciation for their service, and has revealed their true, ugly visage to American voters. The radical left has pulled the Dems so far left on Iraq, they are unable to do anything but surrender.

Every Dem running for President used the Petraeus report to Congress to criticize the entire operation and do everything but call the man a liar to his face. Billary's "suspension of disbelief" comment is beyond the pale, but so is most everything (s)he says. None of the Dems bothered to denounce the scurrilous attack on Petraeus. They might lose all that money from the pacifists and Al Qaeda supporters MoveOn represents. This is an attack too far: never again can the left claim any shred of decency toward our military. Ever. Accusing our Iraq commander of being a stooge for Bush or being guilty of war crimes is not supporting the troops. Actually, it's helping our terrorist enemies. The left does not want to win or properly defend America. Treason has become their modus operandi. It's who they are.

All Americans should be glad to have men like David Petraeus serving our nation. The man travelled eight thousand miles to brief Congress on a situation he has worked with some success where others have failed, only to be libeled and slandered by the left. I encourage everyone to leave a message of encouragement to the general on the "send a message to our troops" section of the MNF-IRAQ site.
