GOP Cornyn To Introduce Senate Resolution Criticizing MoveOn Ad

As Congress considers a series of legislation that would drastically alter the course and direction of the Iraq War, one prominent Republican Senator will be focusing his efforts on condemning the newspaper advertisement of an anti-war group.

The Huffington Post has learned that Senator John Cornyn, R-TX, will introduce a sense of the Senate resolution Thursday, criticizing MoveOn.org's recent advertisement in the New York Times. The ad called into question the credibility of Lt. General David Petraeus, suggesting the pseudonym "Betray Us."

Cornyn's amendment proclaims that the general "deserves the full support of the Senate." The moveon advertisement, Cornyn writes, not only "impugns the honor and integrity of General Petraeus," but "all the members of the United State Armed forces."

Perhaps in hopes of gaining support for his amendment, Cornyn's measure would also "reaffirm support for all the men and women of the United States Armed Forces." Cornyn's sense of the Senate resolution comes on the heals of the Republican Party's filibuster of an amendment, put forth by Senator Jim Webb, D-VA, requiring that troops be given the same amount of time at home as they spend deployed abroad. A call to Cornyn's office to determine whether a vote against his measure would be regarded as a vote against the troops went on answered.

4. I had to leave as Boxer was reiterating what Durbin said. It was just getting so good

Boxer and Durbin were saying exactly what I've been saying for days. They said if Cornyn went on with his resolution that they would ask for an amendment that would condemn the swift boat liars. I was wondering what the final vote or outcome was?
