Democrats, it’s so simple: “No I’m not going to condemn MoveOn, no matter how much the right wingers whine about it. Bush shouldn’t be hiding behind someone in a military uniform, and it was wrong for a general to do that for him.”

No apologies saying how much you respect General Petraeus. I’m getting really sick of that. The fact is, he specifically provided cover for George Bush’s policy, and as a military man he was wrong to do so. It’s just a fact that both Democrats and Republicans know to be true. That has nothing to do with what a great guy he is or how much he knows about counter-insurgency, or how good a general he is during military actions.

Can't we ever, ever say something short and strong?
