Reply #67: I agree that it was the criticism of a general that made the right wing apoplectic about this

[Time for change]

Yet the criticisms of Petraeus by MoveOn were all right on target. It's hard to see how they could be condemned for what they said about him.

I was just thinking though that the pun might have made MoveOn look a little less professional and serious in the eyes of some, and that that could have opened up the opportunity to condemn them.

You're right, this is very sad. The same thing happened with Iraq, and it led to a disastrous war.
