Dear Congressional Democrats: Buck Up

Imagine my surprise today when I opened CNN.com today and saw that General Petraeus doesn't want to end the surge till July 2008. (For those of you who don't already know that was sarcasm.) I could expect nothing less from someone who has proven to be for the Iraq War and doesn't want to leave. Another thing that caught my eye was a new ad by MoveOn.org that said this: 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."
Congressional Republicans were outraged and making statements that were completely silly such as these: House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said, "Democratic leaders must make a choice today: Either embrace the character assassination tactics Moveon.org has leveled against the four-star general leading our troops in the fight against al Qaeda, or denounce it as disgraceful." "Gen. Petraeus and the other commanders in the U.S. Armed Services have dedicated their lives to defending the very freedom that enables MoveOn.org the right to free speech. I support that right, but I find the way they have chosen to exercise it today to be disrespectful and downright reprehensible," Boehner said in a statement.
What a silly statement, of course we respect the troops and their commanders but when they blatantly ignore the facts we will call them on it. To show that GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds they called on Democrats to condemn the ad. Funny when Democrats call on Republicans to condemn something on their side they just ignore us. So of course Lieberman quickly does (of course he is as much of a Democrat as President Bush) but to see Senator Kerry and other Congressional Democrats do the same was shameful. Where the hell is your intestinal fortitude?? So buck up congressional Democrats don't be afraid of looking weak, you won't the large majority of American people think this war was a mistake and needs to end. Act like Democrats and buck up. What a day to begin it by being called a centrist and now this it’s been eventful.
Sensible Democrat
