Petition Condeming Attacks On Gen. Petraeus

Petition Condeming Attacks On Gen. Petraeus, Our Troops Backgrounder: Gen. Petraeus has just made his long-awaited presentation to Congress on progress on the war in Iraq. The picture he paints is not bleak but it is not rosy either. Unfortunately, many liberals have taken to harsh, personal attacks on Petraeus and our troops. For example, MoveOn.org is calling him Gen. "Betray Us." In response, Sen. Cornyn and Rep. Boehner have introduced a resolutions condemning MoveOn.org's statements and other attacks on ...

Thank you Steve for putting this together. It's an outcry that The Reps and Senators are not backing him up on this issue as Our American Soldiers would die in vain because of the Ried's, Kennedy's and the likes of them. Move on.org can move on as far as I am concerned.

Unbelievable!   How much as Americans are we going to put up with?  I am outraged by his comments.  Chuch Schumer your a disgrace to us as Americans.  Your IDIOT comments are without any factual basis, yet you go on  on national television and make comments the surge didn't bring peace, the Warlords took peace.....are you nuts??!!!!    

You Representatives and Senators who go on national television and have nothing but personal attacks regarding our leaders is shameful.  Your all an embarassment to our Country.  You have no honor, duty or respect.  You all should be arrested for your treasonous statements.  In the midst of our war you are discrediting, the character and honor of General Petraeus?  You go on national TV and tell us our troops are incompetent?  YOU ALL ARE  A BUNCH OF MINDLESS SELF-SERVING, SELF-CENTERED POLITICAL IDIOTS.

YOU SCHUMER, PELOSI, REID, KENNEDY AND LANTOS ought to be tarred and feathered and ran up and down our streets. 

My father was in the military.  My adopted father retired with honors from the military.  My nephew has been fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2003 and he currently has 18 months left on his contract.

 YOU ALL ARE UNAMERICAN.

I support our troops, but the situation Bush weaseled us into is a no win situation. I lived in the middle east & experienced the hatred between the US & Israel in additional to tribal hatred & fighting. This fighting will never end due to our presence in Iraq. We are not fighting against Al Quida but are in the middle of civil war waged by warlords against each other. We have wasted lives & caused lifelong pain & injuries to our surviving combat troops. Iraq lacks leadership but you can bet that US dollars have ended up in their corrupt pockets. This is one crappy country, that is not worth the loss of lives we've endured. We should have left Sadam in power. Just think what good could have been accomplished elsewhere with the money we wastefully spent in Iraq!

Schumar is a traitor to our country (like moveon.org and other Dems). My 90 year old WWII D-DAY ( Utah Beach point de Hoc) B-26 Marauder USAF pilot uncle Colonel is ill in the hospital and Schumar would make him even sicker. So I'm glad he probably won't hear about this. He was in the war when Americans supporetd their troops and military leaders. Now we have a bunch of Dumbocrats up there that want to stick their heads in the sand leaving their butts exposed as targets to Al-Qiada.

Well I don't know what to say after "Whatsgoingon? I think he has said it all and I as a retired Army man agree with everything he said. I am fed up with these crybabies too and I hope the people of our great country wake up and smell the roses. I don't have many years left , but I sure hope some of the people in this country have enough backbone to put the right people in power , so that all that has been done so far will not be for naught.

Schumar is a traitor and does not deserve to represent our country. He should be thrown out of the US Senate TODAY!!! My 90 year old WWII Uncle was a D-DAy B-26 pilot over Utah Beach and he would be upset over Schumar's unAmerican comments. He enjoyed the support of Americans when he was in war in USAF and now we have idiots like Schumar in the US Senate. I think it would be proper for Schumar to be put in the same spider hole with bin Laden wearing a t-shirt that says US Senator.

Are there no Senators or Representatives with spine enough to condemn these traitorous words/people? If not, then none of you are worthy to hold the office which you have been elected to. It's time you set aside the strife and began to work for this nation.

It is no big surprise that these comments were made. The media has always been liberally biased, and the media pushes a liberal agenda. This country will be in major trouble if the liberal Democrats gain control of the White House in '08. As a conservative Christian, I feel that this all falls in the lap of those that would wipe the name of God from this country's legacy. It is despicable when even our governing body of elected officials cannot find it in themselves to stand behind our troops, as they risk their lives to preserve democracy, and our way of life. I am sure that the Vietnam veterans that are still around see this as no new development. The government has always had no problem with lying to those that serve, cutting their medical and other benefits, and forsaking those in the line of fire. I am ashamed of the United States' governing body of phonies. They are there for the money, and no other reason.

Don't under estimate Chuck the a**hole Shumer. He will follow his party to the end and will do anything in his power to facilitate Gun Control. He is a danger to society. Hey, let's send him to Texas or Florida unannounced and see what happens to him. He won't like it. I think he should go to Iraq and fight. His Brady Bunch are a bunch of misfits in my opinion.

Unfortunately, the Democrats have no shame and are willing to lie again and again if they think it will further their power. Also, too many Americans don't keep informed from primary sources. They just listen to the main stream media and believe everything they are fed. I attended the Freedom Concert yesterday in New Jersey and, I have to say, it was great to be among so many who are real patriots. I wish I could believe that they are in the majority in this country.

All of America should read a book by M. Scott Peck,MD called "People of the Lie, The Hope For HealingHuman Evil." This is the democratic party today, just full of evil and lies. The book informs us that what these people accuse others of, is what in fact THEY are doing!Why are they never held accountableand ask for evidence of what they are accusing! Treatment of this General is discusting. They should be ushered out of the chambers!

Ditto whatsgoingon, You took the words out of my mouth and put them down better than I would have, Thank you So while am here I need to vent.

We also have to realize that our enemy is watching our US news, all major cable and network stations, taking notes. The Media and the politicans like to say "The American people have the right and need to know." We are telling the enemy our plans. We are their cheat codes. Why do they need intelligence???? They have American TV. Sure the American peolple have a right and a need to know, but there is so much we Americans do not need to know and there are some things we have no business knowing. There are people who would be in jail and books he would not allow to be published if FDR was President. We have people running this Country who are more interested in destroying their opponents than destroying our enemy. They are too busy trying to find something to ruin an opponents instead of finding a way to defeat the enemy. Yes I agree there people in our Government who to be investigated. But we are at war and need to put all our attention into winning this war. After we win then we can put all our attention in whose freezer has money stored in it and who is in public restrooms bumping shoes. In fact the Media is an enemy who is a lot worse than any enemy we have. It was the Media who was at fault on reporting the Vietnam conflict. To see our boys come home only to be spit on called baby killers still puts a lump in my throat. When it comes to the Media America is the bad guy. Can you imagine the headlines and the stories today's Media would put out reporting the story of General Sherman's march.War is war. Exit stragity.. WIN!!! It is time for us to demand the media to keeo us informed not to publish, air or talk about information that benefits our enemy.THE MEDIA WILL GET US KILLED if we do not stop them. Oh well, when the Muslims take over this country we won't have that to worry about. THink I'm a wee bit off? Then you answer this question: "How are we going to stop them????? Pay attention, listen to the TV instead of looking at it. Look at how their children are being brainwashed. We have Muslim groups on every campus. Our students get caught up in the political correctness, lets show our compassion and show our love. Which will be used against you in the future. Remember they might love you, but they love Allah more and will kill you for Allah! No doubt about that. Muslims give you 2 choices... convert or die..The so called good Muslims are letting the bad ones do their dirty work. If the bad ones lose then they are still in good graces and are willing and have the patience to wait until another time. They are getting stronger. Those of you who are ready to graduate and step out into the world remember these words. "The attitudes you have and the decisions you make, creates your destiny." I hope your destiny does not take lives. Your's or our's... After thought. My plan if I was in charge. First thing, Nuke Iraq and Iran off the map. I don't care if anyone likes the US, I want their respect! Bring every one of our soldiers home from every country. Install the draft. If you might have the oppertunity to be President then you should have at least a little bit of service to this country. Then I would secure our borders and go back to the original immigration laws. Take the military and put them around our border to guard against someone trying to come here illegally. Shoot if they resist. Shoot and kill a couple and that will greatly reduce people trying to sneak in. You think that is too drastic. What I think is drastic is our border patrol agents, Americans being killed. Sacifice a couple to save thousands. My main concern as the MIC... Protect the lives of the people of the United States of America at all cost. OK OK I am finished. Bob

I am shocked that all these men in office can do is attack the man that has been there and has seen the what is happening. What is wrong with these officials that we elected into office! What we need to do is vote all these congressmen to sit on the front lines for a few months and then come back to report to the American people! We can't walk away from this like we did in Korea and Viet Nam! If the war comes over here, God help us all!

These liberal political groups like MoveOn.org have degenerated to the point that they are no longer able to value or even recognize virtue in their fellow man. You either conform to their narrow agenda or suffer their shrill, depraved harrassment. Even worse are our so-called "representatives" in congress. These people think they're in there for their own pleasure and benefit. Even many republicans seem to have little or no backbone when it comes to taking a stand for what the people want and opposing the mainstream liberal agenda. Even when the people (again whom they supposedly represent) speak out on an issue such as illegal immigration, they still hesitate to do the right thing and do it only relunctanly. I know there are still a few good reps in there, but they seem to be the exception. Benjamin Franklin famously said of the government the founding fathers had formed that it was "A Republic, if you can keep it". With reps like these, I wonder if we've come near the end of what we can keep...

From where I sit, when the polititions quit running the war and let the professionals (military) do their job, we will win hands down. Reminds me of Vietnam and a few other wars. Our troops deserve better than what they are getting from Washington so Congress do what you were elected to do (SHUTUP!!!!!!) and get on with real issues of interest (not that Iraq is of interest). We Americans know what we are doing but Washington doesn't. Most of you in Washinton haven't a clue about Islam or terrorism. Do your homework then our guys will come home but with honor and not your kind of honor.
