This is NO time to apologize. It is no time to worry about being polite.

MoveOn is right.

If the American public hadn't been lied to, it never would have supported the war in Iraq.

Bush betrayed us.
Cheney betrayed us.
Rumsfeld betrayed us.
Powell betrayed us.
The entire Administration has betrayed the American public, time after time --
and shredded the U.S. constitution in the process.

And now Gen. Petreaus has betrayed us.

And that is the ugly, impolite TRUTH.

1. You got it.....I agree!

The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off.

So said Gloria Steinem.

2. I agree with Move on

[Glorfindel]

3. Say it loud, say it often, and be rude if necessary

People are DYING! Politeness is not required.

4. Sometimes The Truth Hurts

But it needs to be told. Thank you MoveOn.

5. Gen Petreaus - Will He Betray Us?

Just a slight shift in wording makes the point and provides just enough cover for the conversation to be about the issue instead of a smear campaign.

8. I haven't necessarily agreed with some of your recent statements

but you make a good point on this one.

That might well have been the better tactic.

6. YOU FREEPER BASTARDS KNOW IT

MOVEON SPEAKS THE TRUTH

[Downtown Hound]

7. Fuck yeah!

9. No no no no no no no, not this time

The public returned us to power, last November. So it was our party's responsibility to do something about what's going on. You can't exactly complain about everyone else being a traitor when you fund their activities, can you?

We need to take to the streets (properly), and we need to elect actual leaders who will show actual leadership when the chips are down.

But we can't fault the general. He did his job to the best of his ability. He is a better man than Tommy Franks and Peter Pace. No question. This man did his job the way he is supposed to.
