I am so ashamed at myself. It's been a long time since I have made a donation to Move On. I feel like I was asleep at the wheel, dealing with work, and other personal issues. I doubled up my donation to MoveOn.
I am very much aware of how resident Bush has been setting the table with General Petraeus being the main dish for continuing the war in Iraq. I lost track of how many times the talking heads mentioned General Petraeus over the past month, all leading up to his / the White Houses' report on the war on Iraq. It should be crystal clear to everybody that not only has Bush used the military for his propaganda/political agenda again but it's worse, General Petraeus is actually being pitched as the guy with a plan. The only plan he has is to deliver what ever the White House tells him to deliver. General Petraeus is not an independent voice. General Petraeus has betrayed the United States. This is not confusing, and MoveOn nailed it.
MoveOn once again laid it out there. They hit a the nail on the head, and I am ashamed at myself for not making a recent donation. I took care of that today. I would rather hear Democrats punish the white house for using the General.
MoveOn don't change what you are doing. I feel your add was necessary and might have people asking "Why does MoveOn feel that way about General Petraeus? Support MoveOn this weekend, make a donation and let them know we dig em.
I sure would like to see more of Admiral William Fallon. This is our true American hero, On Deck, waiting to be called up to bat. Come on Keith Olbermann, John Stewart, George Stephanopoulos , Meet The Press
Get this guy on your show. This will be as good as it gets.
Admiral William J. Fallon
Commander
U.S. Central Command.
Fallon told Petraeus [in March] that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickensh*t" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.
Admiral William J. Fallon : HERO
MoveON : HERO
