Remember when MoveOn.org got all sorts of shit for running that ad about Petraeus?

[gopiscrap]

"General Petraeus don't betray us!" Well he did betray us. So Move.On should run this ad now:

Hey all you red neck, jingoist military chickenhawks and right wingers...we were right
so go fuck yourself..either go crawl in a cave or leave the country, just stfu...WE WERE RIGHT!!!!

1. So MoveOn.org was alleging that he was unfaithful to his wife?

If not, what's the point of this?

[gopiscrap]

2. Doesn't matter what it was he betrayed his country

what he did caused him to get fired. I'm not saying it was right, but that's the rules and he knew it. Fuck him,. he's skated all these years with a phony facade and all the right wingers were all over Move.On's ass...it's time for those fuckers to eat some crow!!!

3. More that he was unfaithful to his country.

He was the big proponent of the surge in Iraq (what did that do but kill more people?) and now of drone strikes in Pakistan. What part of this is showing how big his dick is and real military strategy?

4. Moveon was only quoting Petraeus' own troops nickname for him

He was a well known self promoter

5. all that flak about attacking him then

and now it's fashionable to pile on him now ... because he was kept on by Obama ...

7. Freepers have short memories, they have forgotten that Petraeus was their guy. We need to

remind them how they defended him and called everyone who questioned his integrity back then, traitors.

It's not hard to find their own words and they should have to acknowledge that once again, the instincts of Progressives were correct. A man who is willing to lie for his president, Bush at that time, is not a man of 'impeccable morals and integrity' as they claimed.

6. Worse than that, they correctly were claiming he was not telling the truth about the progress

of the disaster in Iraq to the American people. Most Democrats at the time, including President Obama, agreed with them.

He was brought to Congress to try to push Bush's failed policies in order to keep that war going. THAT is a much more egregious betrayal than any private affair he may have had.

Freepers viciously attacked Dems for calling his testimony into question, calling him a man of impeccable morals and principles etc.

So yes, Progressives were right to attack his credibility at that time. And apparently he was not after all a 'man of impeccable morals and principles' if he was willing to claim success in Iraq when all the evidence proved otherwise.
