The US military, including General Petraeus, ought to be very worried about what is taking place in this country. We citizens who are members of MoveOn.org number now in millions.
We know, and our military leadership knows also, that the Bush Administration has politicized the military and run it into the ditch. We know, and our military leadership also knows, that the War in Iraq was a catastrophic mistake.
The US military has become complicit in the dissemination of misleading statistics and outright misstatements of fact about the tragedy that is this Iraq War.
That is why the MoveOn.org advertisement in the New York Times which has generated so much discussion was entirely appropriate and even necessary.
