Why are move on dot org and some liberals throwing general petrayus under the bus, calling him betray us?

Question

US Military officers obey the orders of the President of the United States
The General is ordered to go to war

This attack on a member of the US Military for this reason is not acceptable to this liberal, me.

I want to be clear and specific, I do not support this President's policy decisions regarding Iraq and it is clear to me that it is a disaster.

However, it is not acceptable to attack a military member over frustration with President Bush.

SHAME

Sorry,
correct spelling:
general petraeus

"I really respect him, and I think he's dead flat wrong," Biden said.

Biden contended that Bush's main strategy was to buy time and extend the troop presence in Iraq long enough to push the burden onto the next president, who takes office in January 2009, to fix the sectarian strife.

"This president has no plan — how to win and/or how to leave," Biden said.


Biden says it best, respect the man, disagree with his view

Answer 1

I am a democrat, and I am appalled by this. A thoroughly moronic and childish thing to do! Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. It also gives fodder to the neo-cons and the like. I despise Bush but respect General Petrayus, he is doing his job and following orders, however I set the blame and disdain squarely in the lap of President Bush, our "Commander In Chief"!

Answer 2

Moveon can't throw Petraeus under the bus. He's not on their bus.

Soon he's going to say how the Iraqis are doing in Iraq, and that's what a lot of people don't understand on both sides of the aisle; it isn't about how the US or the coalition are doing, it's how the Iraqis are doing.

Moveon wants it to be bad news. They're trying to set us all up to not believe good news.

Now, the preliminary indications are that they haven't met 11 out of 18 benchmarks. Okay, well that means they have met 7, so we need to consider what the other 11 are, and how near were the misses. Can we work with it, or do they just flat want to stay in chaos? I'm willing to be convinced that we can work with it. After all, we're asking them to come in four years a distance it took our own country over 100 years to reach; what's going on there is nothing compared to our own Civil War, no matter which side of either you're on.

Answer 3

Paetraeus is part of the Bush problem because he is carrying out Bush's orders which he does not have to do, IF, he were to resign. But he chooses to stay on with Bush because he is a loyal Republican Evangelical. Do you actually believe thta Patraeous is fighting for you, a lib? Wake up and smell the coffee buddy. This ain't an American Iraq war any longer, it's a Republican Evangelical war conducted by Bush's Evangelical General Patraeus & his mostly Evangelical army.

Answer 4

He doesn't serve their purpose, plain and simply put. Of course, he was their beacon of hopelessness until he shed some light on the subject, then he's ousted and called a traitor for doing his job instead of being a Democrat. I think that is becoming the norm anymore, only Democrats are allowed to be correct about anything especially the war.

Answer 5

What precisely are you accusing Obama of? What replaced into his action and how do you replace into conscious of the destiny consequence of that action? Which area of his behaviour is fascist? specifically, which of his movements characterize a laissez-faire suggestions-set on your opinion. Which of his movements escalated the commerce imbalance and what ought to he have finished instead? which economic institutions on your opinion ought to be allowed to break down (that's by ability of ways a social Darwinism suggestions-set of the intense capitalists - in effortless terms the fittest proceed to exist, no longer unavoidably the terrific for the way forward for a rustic). in keeping with probability I surely have not accompanied your Y/A for long sufficient and additionally you have dealt with my questions in previous Y/A, then purely supply me with the links please.

Answer 6

Why do you think Bush stopped in Iraq recently?To get all his men in step and on the same page perhaps?Or was it just a photo op?

Answer 7

You know, I find it strange that people assume liberals worship moveon.org. I've been to that site once in my life to see what the hype is about, but didn't find it that great. I prefer to make my own decisions and am pretty liberal.

Why was it okay to attack military strategy during the Clinton administration, during Bosnia, but not now? If it is not working for the American people than it is not serving in our national interest.

Answer 8

Well the first time I heard his name I heard "betray us" too. I thought, "wow that's a strange name for a military leader!" So I guess its a logical next step for someone who hates america to actually call him that...

Answer 9

Obey orders? That is not very humanistic to suggest that any other human being can give orders to another.

In this age of self awareness, why should there even be government? We should all be laws unto ourselves.

Why have any governance, it is all corrupt. Do away with the police force and we will have no more crime.

It's all upside down logic with Secular Progressives, and I blame public education and revisionism. Thanks NEA!!

Answer 10

It is what they do..... Pathological hate destroys the mind and soul.. It eats from within and leaves a shell filled with unreasoning hate and rage.... It is so vile that it will cause the destruction of ones own country to get at the object of that hate... Sad.. truly sad.
