Veterans call on MoveOn.org allies in Congress to denounce anti-Petraeus ad
Washington, D.C. (September 9th 2007) - Pete Hegseth, executive director of Vets for Freedom and Iraq War veteran, issued the following statement.
"Tomorrow - as General David Petraeus provides his Iraq assessment to Congress - the anti-war group, MoveOn.org, is running a full - page advertisement in the New York Times with the headline: General Petraeus or General Betray us? Cooking the books for the White House.
"Let's be clear: MoveOn.org is suggesting that General Petraeus has 'betrayed' his country. This is disgusting. To attack as a traitor an American general commanding forces in war, because his ‘on the ground' experience does not align with MoveOn.org's political objectives, is utterly shameful. It shows contempt for America's military leadership, as well as for the troops who have confidence in him, as our fellow soldiers in Iraq certainly do.
"General Petraeus has served this country for over 35 years with honor, distinction, and integrity. And this is not just about General Petraeus. After all, if General Petraeus is "cooking the books," then the entire military chain of command in Baghdad, and all the staff, military and civilian, who have been working with General Petraeus are complicit, since Petraeus did not write his report in isolation. They are all, apparently, 'betray[ing] us.'
"MoveOn.org has been working closely with the Democratic congressional leadership - as an article in today's Sunday New York Times Magazine makes clear. And consider this comment by a Democratic senator from Friday's Politico: "'No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV,' noted one Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition on anonymity. ‘The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us.'
"So, veterans who served in Iraq ask the Democratic leaders in Congress: Does MoveOn.org speak for you? Do you agree with MoveOn.org? Or do you repudiate this despicable charge?
"MoveOn.org has helped frame the core choice: Whom do we trust to run this war - MoveOn.org and its allies in Congress, or Gen. David Petraeus and his colleagues?"
Vets for Freedom is a nonpartisan organization established by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its mission is to educate the American public about the importance of achieving success in these conflicts by applying our first-hand knowledge to issues of American strategy and tactics - namely "the surge" in Iraq.

The bottom line....The Dems WANT our efforts in Iraq to fail. If that's not treason, what is?
Just another example of the left's 'support for our troops'. They are disgusting.
MoveOn.org and other groups who have been defaming General Petraeus are disgusting. They have no honor.
amazing how they were calling him a liar before he even opened his mouth to release the report.
What can we expect from moonbats?
May leprechauns tie their shoelaces together.
Taitors!!!
Move On and the New York Times!!
Someday I hope thier offices burn to the ground!
It's clear the Dems are invested in our defeat.
I would like to read a point-by- point refutation of the claims made by that moveon.org ad.
What is the source for their claims? Does anyone know?
Does there exist clear policies that would refute their claims?
jihad jay,
The source for their claims is a mixed form of Communism, it comes from the Karl Marx doctrine.
The communism doctrine released in the 50's stated back then that they would defeat America by infiltration from within.
Senator Joeseph McCarthy Was Correct.
Recently declassified (1996) Venona Transcripts, which prove the US government was infested with Soviet spies at all levels, including the White House. http://www.nsa.gov/venona/
Also another proof of this was from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of the Gulag Archipelago Which is the reason that Ann Coulter states that Senator Joe McCarthy was villianized by the left for trying to dig into the socialism that was infiltrated into so much of the United States.
Since the Leftists were so closely tied with Communism/Socialism they are in effect helping the Commie/Socialist followers to defeat the American way of Freedom for they really like Dictatorship above true Democracies. This was well shown to be the case back in the mid 60's.
Thanks for the history lesson, Phil. I can't disagree with you.
Yet, I was asking what documentation existed that backed up the claims in the Petraeus ad. When someone says that our top commander is fudging numbers, they better have a stack of proofs to back it up. I apologize for not being clear.
Since then, I found links to the source material at moveon.org that they used to make the ad.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to research the date to form a rebuke. I wish somebody would.
Great site, by the way.
Lets be ready in '08 to wage total war on liberalism.
Hi jihad Jay,
Well I know that someone has proof that Moron.org has no factual information on their claims because I had run across a piece about that a day or so ago while looking for other relevant information.
It's a sad day when Americans call for defeat. It sends a wrong message to our troops, and a damaging message to the enemy. These people should be tried and convicted for treason.
Hi Sky Dive Rick,
It sure is a sad day when Americans call for defeat. You are right and that is the problem with so many who can't see it.
Thank you Sky Dive Rick for stopping by.
