A general, in the position that Petraeus is in, should be fully capable of presenting facts to the American people. I'm not sure who prompted him to distort the numbers (hello Bush, is there anyone at home?) but he did, and he must have been fully aware that he did. If he was not aware of the distortion of facts, then he isn't qualified for the job. Thank-you MoveOn for staying on top of all of this. I think most people are so sick of the war, so sick of the lies and so sick of the loss of life and casualties.

George Bush is disgusting. Cant he just sit down and shut up for the rest of his term and spare the nation any more humiliation?

Poor solders & generals. You have to obey orders even you know BUSH is a liar. Are you really defending US in IRAQ?
Or, you just have been fooled by BUSH.

Bush injected General Petraeus into a political fray, and by doing so the General became a political figure. There are lines between the military and politicians for a reason; a politicized military is the end of liberty, freedom and justice. I hope Mr. Bush will in the future keep the General in Iraq doing his job, and that he will do his own political dirty work.

now, don't forget!! hurricane katrina was something bush conjured up because he hates black people…i feel sorry for all of you that have no clue. if i give you a dollar, will you dems go out and buy a clue?

President Bush forgot about the Swift-Boat ads which denegrated both John Kerry's service to his country and Max Clealand, who left limbs behind in Viet Nam. Whi is really disgusting?
Stop being a bunch of hypocrits when you live in a glass house.
CNN jumped all over this. Where were you all when John Kerry was getting slammed?

"Moveon.Org represents the epitomy of special interests attempting to buy the election."

The EPITOME? Let's talk about the criminal corporation, Halliburton. Let's talk about the Swift Boat Cowards for Lies.

LOL, GEORGE SOROS OWNS MILLIONS OF SHARES OF HALLUBURTON STOCK. GO TO THE SEC WEBSITE AND DO AN EDGAR SEARCH. IT IS EASILY VERIFIED. SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE, Steve.

So Georgie-Boy … I'm sorry … Mr. President,

You take this opportunity to show your values and morals? What a Chimp in Chief. Clear the slime and look at your own administration, big guy .. cowboy!

MoveOn and their uber-liberal groupies have absolutely no basis to make that accusation at Gen. Pertraeus. They surely aren't living in Iraq or serving there. They base these assertions from left-leaning editorials and meaningless opinion polls. Wake up America! Gen. Petraeus is the commander on the ground. His job isn't to create foreign policy or come up with reasons why we should or should not support it. Seems to me that MoveOn and the radical liberals who support them have committed an egregious error of misplaced anger.

What is truly "disgusting" is the foul stench of the commentary from all the above liberal mugwumps who have a big yellow stripe painted down their backs.

They all sit in their cozy houses sipping chai and lattes and comment about stuff they have absolutely no knowledge about. After reading their vitriol, it is clear that not a single one of these mugwumps have ever served in Iraq or Afghanistan. They have never seen a jihadist up close and personal and have no concept of the hatred that drives these terrorist pukes to want to kill any and all Americans; simply because we are Americans.

Their nearsightedness is appalling. Do you mugwumps honestly believe if we pull out of Iraq right now the terrorists will say, "Thank you very much we will not attack you anymore"? Or the naive belief that diplomacy or isolationism will actually work with non-state terrorist organizations. Get a clue! We are going to be fighting these SOBs across the world for the next 30+ years. You liberals need to start getting used to it.

Where is the disgust for Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity et.al. from the right wing when they say something disgusting and usually untrue?

Funny, wasn't it ads that attacked another soldier's service that got him re-elected?

As a US citizen, I resent that I have been lied to by the President of the United States regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the false pretenses with which he led our soldiers to war. I question the manner he responded to the attacks 9/11. I am disgusted at his response to our people who suffered during Hurricane Katrina. It just amazes me how anyone whose job performance is at the bottom of the barrel would have the audacity to criticize others about their decisions.

Yo BUSH: Stop bulling the rest of the nation! You need to shut up and focus on more important things like this NATION and its people! You have cause us all enough disgrace!

So what will you do next? Try to change the constitution so you can infringe on people's rights and rewrite the 1st amendment?

We are tired of you lies and games, and you trying to censor people that are speaking their minds, well is just what a dumb cowboy like you would do… what was I thinking…

Sorry America; Broken government at its best!

Mr. Bush, please read this very carefully, it is called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

And we are not all as dumb as you may hope. A country at war is a country easy to manipulate. It is also easier to strip the citizens of a country of war of many of their civil rights.

CONDEMN PRESIDENT BUSH AND HIS ADMINISTRATION. IMPEACH.

Can't you people seperate your hatred of our president from what he is talking about. He called the ad disgusting, he wasn't talking about justification for the war or the swift vote campaign. Seperate the issue. He was giving his opinion of of the ad which most americans, democrat and republicans alike find "disgusting"

Looks like our leader is a bit upset that an organization is acutally speaking FOR THE PEOPLE. Keep up the good work move.on.! At least someone is watching our backs.

It seems to me that General Petraeus, regardless of the thoughts and comments by political pundits or organizations like "Moveon.org", has, in part, performed his mission as a US commander. He, and all of the military, have put their lives on the line so that we, as civilians, have the freedom, luxury and right, to make these statements, say what is on our minds, however disagreeable to someone else, and to have these arguments. The truth, validity and accuracy of his report aside, I salute him and all of the Military, without whom we would not have this freedom. As a general officer, I am sure that he disagrees with some comments and yet his heart is warmed by the knowledge that he is, in part, directly responsible for the fact that we have these rights.

Steve from ??,

You brought up Halliburton. Tom/Mass is right on the money. You probably don't know this … but here are some facts for you to digest about Halliburton and President Clinton:

In 1997 President Clinton put up for bid LOGCAP (government contract) previously awarded to Halliburton. The lowest bidder (in '97) was Dyncorp. However, the Clinton Administration over-rode the lowest bid and awarded the contract to…. HALLIBURTON.

Cry all you want about Bush/Cheney - but it was President Clinton that gave Halliburton it's first effective no-bid win.

Let's see, this condemnation coming from a man who used falsified & fake information to convince Congress to support his burning desire to invade Iraq and get us into a no-win war for whatever idiot reasoning he & Cheney & Rumsfeld might have dreamed up.

I just remember old W saying back in 2002 that he wouldn't rest until Bin Laden was found & brought to justice. I'm still waiting, George! Do you even remember who Bin Laden is? Or do you even care?

I don't think anybody takes you even half seriously anymore. You're just a puppet & even the GOP die-hards know it now. How does it feel to know you're going to go down as probably the worst President in American history!

By the way, we've buried a lot of men from Charlie Company here in Honolulu that paid the price for your war. Hope you're really proud of that.

When you fire all the Generals that disagree with you, don't expect the people to except a puppet.

Posted By Tom, Mission Viejo, CA : September 20, 2007 3:10 pm

Why you ask?

Because Osama bin Laden wasn't in Iraq; Because Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq;
Because Iraq didn't attack us on 9/11; Because Bush should have left all of our resources and "stayed the course" in Afghanistan instead of "cutting and running" to Iraq - bin Laden and Al Qaeda could very well have been a distant memory by now; Because Bush pulled most of our resources out of Afghanistan, the Taliban and Al Qaeda are at pre-9/11 strength and the Afghan people are once again screwed,etc. etc., etc.

Why did Bush choose to attack Iraq? A few things … because, as he's said himself, the only way to get out from under Poppy's thumb was to do what Poppy couldn't - get Saddam; secure Iraq's oil for his base of haves & have-mores in the oil industry; because even prior to 9/11, Bush and his cabal of criminally incompetents focused their efforts on Iraq - case in point - right after 9/11 who was the first person Bush & Co. told our intelligence agencies to link it to? Saddam. And, once we did invade, what was the first thing our troops were told to secure? Not the people, not the museums, not banks, governmental buildings, etc., but … the oil fields.

There are many reasons why most Americans are against this war: It is a war of CHOICE and our soldiers are dying for a CHOICE, not a CAUSE; innocent civilians are dying for a CHOICE not a CAUSE; we were LIED TO because of a CHOICE; billions of our taxpaying dollars are being pissed away on a CHOICE; we are no safer today than prior to 9/11 due to a CHOICE; our military is being privatized and handed over to thugs with guns while our troops are protecting THEM; this entire war is A WAR FOR PROFIT, not a war for FREEDOM. There are many, MANY reasons why this war is disgusting. Who are WE to force our way of life on people who, culturally, haven't changed for THOUSANDS OF YEARS!

Ye asked and ye received … anyone, please feel free to expound if I've missed something … and please explain it coherently for Tom.

I too am a veteran, but unlike the veterans of swiftboat I did not attack the war record of another veteran. When the President was asked about his National Guard service, a DD form 214 was paraded out and presented saying that he had honorably completed his service, it should have been dropped right then and there, however swiftboat decided to attack John Kerry's war record, a veteran that actually did serve Vietnam was awarded three purple hearts, a Bronze medal and a Silver Star. Swiftboat vets came forth and claimed they were not real medals properly awarded, but they were on his DD form 214, just like the completion of President Bush's service obligation. But unlike the President, the son of a very affuent family, one that surly would have a following and strap hangers all about him, there was not a flood of veterans coming forth claiming to have served with him in the Guard, while John Kerry actually have fellow veterans who had served with him standing by his side supportting him. Yes, you shall say one of the men that served with John Kerry came out on the side of swiftboat, but it should be noted that he had stood by Kerry and supported him in the past.

This type of political mud slinging is the worst type of trash out there today, but if you can not stand the heat don't go in the kitchen applies. The first shot was fired and not stopped so does this type of mud slinging surprise you or just anger you because it not aimed at someone you don't like.

Personnaly I would call for organizations such as swiftboat and moveon to back off and support canidates in a responsible manner, but I do not expect this to occur.

So telling to see that liberal democrats time and time again lie and distort the facts.

Will once of these socialists please explain which branch of our military Micheal Moore-on, ummm Moveon.org served in? The swift boat vets did serve our country and have the right to correct the lies that a man running for president was spewing. Move-on.org is just a bunch of American hating libs who attacked a man currently defending our freedom for no reason, and have zero facts to back up the hate they are spewing about him and really every member of our military. To try and compare these two as the same, is well liberal democrat. Liberal democrat now means someone full of hate and anger, who is only capable of attacks and spewing lies against anyone and everyone who doesn't march to the move-on.org agenda. Yeah, aren't they so tolerant, loving, and open-minded?

Just goes to prove that much of America doesn't believe anything he, or his cronies, say anymore… and we should all know that Moveon.org or swiftboats or whomever are just more personal interest groups funded or backed by the opposing team.

We are at war with Iraq because Congress approved it because of military/secret information we received at the time (also from various sources)and information and/or knowledge dating back to the prior two-term Administration.

What a hypocrite, I don't recall him denouncing swiftboat veterans, oh yes he did not approve it, that about where it was left. While I disagree with the attack on Petraeus, the Bush adminstration has been cherry picking since before being handed the 2000 election, its nothing new in your White House George, even members of your own staff have said that they don't present anything that would upset you or not fall into line with you perception of things.

We wouldn't have had to go to Iraq in 2003 if we had finished the job in 1991, when the elder Bush and Colin Powell wimped out in response to members of the media whining about the televised images of burned corpses of Saddam's rapists and murderers on their way out of Kuwait. Had General Petraeus been in command, and not Colin Powell, we would have continued on to Baghdad and ousted Saddam, saved a million Kurds, and possibly have discouraged Iran from allowing their current nutcase from ever taking power.

And while I do not hold the present President Bush in any high regard, I'd still like to hear everyone apologize to him after it is shown that weapons of mass destruction did, in fact, exist in Iraq - but were spirited off to Syria before our troops arrived.

And stop whining aout Katrina. If you live next door to a 20 foot wall of water and stay there even after being told to leave, you deserve to lose your house. If a big quake hits L.A. or San Francisco in the next few years, how much do you think a Hillary/Obama administration can do to solve everyone's problems? I want to see Hillary up there with a rivet gun rebuilding the Golden Gate Bridge…

This shows me that this administration and The Right are very worried about MoveOn. They are trying to discredit it… just like they do everybody or anything that gets in their way.

How many times in the past 4 years has this Administration and/or the Right called people traitors because they are against the war? THOUSANDS! Now THAT is disgusting and very troubling.

The United States is fighting to counter the growing threat of Islamic facism, the same people who have been blowing up airplanes, discos, curches, and buildings for the past 40 years.

have we forgotten the airliner that was shot down over Scotland? Or the Mali bombings that killed 200 people? The Munich Olympics? the '93 WTC attacks? the twin African embassy bombings? and the countless other acts of terrorism over the past 40 years?

Now, we move forward to 2001. Was 9/11 the final attack by terrorists or just the beginning of bolder and more bloddy attacks? What about the plan to down 20 planes over the Pacific? It would take much after seeing the success of 9.11 that terrorists could inflict much more damage than previously.

the world has been fairly silent over the issue of terrorism for 40 years, minus Israel. Do we continue to play defense and hope we stop these people? No, it doesn't work, we found that out on September 11th. The British found out after that, and so did the Spanish.

Iraq quite possibly had awful weapons, whether it was chemical, biological, or eventually nuclear. He had been developing these weapons post-Gulf War when he wasn't supposed to be, doing so under our noses. We stopped him in 1996, but then he kicked UN inspectors out in '98. France, Germany, and Russia were trying to get sanctions lifted of Iraq so they could pursue oil contracts with Saddam. Those three countries lost potential billions of dollars as soon as Saddam was removed from power. That is why they were anti-war. $$. Saddam had been a threat and would be a bigger threat if left unchecked like the FRA, GER, and RUS wanted. At the same time, Iran obviously has been working on nuclear weapons, something that caught everyone offguard.

The Middle East is either ripe for a revolution or war. With unemployment as high as 30% in some countries, it evokes memories of pre-WWII Germany. High unemployment and bitterness towards Europe help cause people to 'believe' in the Nazi party. Then the thugs took power and kept it through violent means.

The means to ending the Nazis was a military defeat followed by getting the European economy started again. People won't blow themselves up if they have a future to look forward to (for the most part). This is why we are fighting in the Middle East. To remove the immediate threats to our country and then spread a future thru democracy.

When Arabs in Israel, Iraq, and muslims in Afghanistan can vote FREELY, then why can't muslims in Iran, Egypt, Yemen, SaudiA. vote freely as well? We are already seeing positive changes even though its tough to see throught the smoke right now.

Bush's policies won't be judged for another 50 years. We must remember, it took the United States some 6 years to win Independence from England and some 10 years to come up with the Constitution as we know it. There were rebellions in the US, too.

We ought not throw huge expectations on the Iraqis that they must have their country operating perfectly in only 4 years.

He looks like a little sunday school boy in a man suit.

Petraeus and the Admin. should be charged with Treason? This is why the anti-war crowd look like nut jobs and loonies. Look up the definition of Treason, come on now.

Again, can ANYONE on anti-war side please explain coherently why we are militarily engaged in the Middle East?

yes yes, bush lied, but for what? What's the purpose of our being there?
yes, you hate the war…but you don't have a reason why?

I am not American. Among other things I am a linguist.

Let me see:
- Immoral [no sense of right and wrong]
- Unethical [abusing the bounds of right and wrong]
- Offensive [trasgressing the bound of propriety]
- Unpatriotic [trecherous]
- Outragious [beyond the reaches of rage]
- Disgusting [beyond contemplation]
This is the sequence of epithets that has come out from the Repub. side to qualify an ad exhibiting the populistic displeasure with a catastrophic war that is about to spin out of control.
Have the hm…peaks of hm…epithetiology been conquered yet?

Steve from "parts unknown", did you save up your allowance and finally get a computer?

Let's talk about Halliburton shall we? The previous President used this company as well, so does that make him greedy and criminal as well?

Now I am a Veteran just like ALL the Swift boat folks were, I don't know the truth and neither do you, so calling them cowards even though they served and the only uniform you ever wore was from McDonalds, that is an insult beyond the pale.

As for Moveon scaring us? I encourage them to keep speaking for the Democrats as we can then open up the dialogue that show that they were started up by communists who are anti-american and against everything we have (look it up, it's the factual truth).

If that is the type of ideals you wish to embrace go for it.

The General firmly STATED BEFORE the hearings that everything he was going to say and discuss, were his own words and thoughts, he could not have been any clearer.

David - Dallas Tx

You asked me, "Henry Tucker of Ga, what do you think the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth"

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were Vietnam Vets that had served along with John Kerry. These were men who angered with John Kerry's accounts and characterizations of other Vietnam Vets. This group existed during the Kerry Campaign and did not attack other democrats.

Moveon.Org began in 1998 as a legal defense for Bill Clinton during his impeachment proceedings. It has continued as a political hit group ever since for 9 years and continues today. The major contributors are NOT vets yet they attack the character of a 4-Star General.

HUGE differences between the two organizations, David.

To TSgt H,

"…we are in a war…"

I respect your service to this country and I do agree with you about the nonsense going back and forth in these blogs.

But if you will sir, please elaborate how this is a war, and explain who exactly we are at war with.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Here is a man with his hatchet men Cheney and Rove that have made a science out of derogatory, inflammatory statements. If he wasn't so strident it would almost be funny .. but as history has shown Bush lacks the self-awareness and intelligence to realize his hypocrisy.

In typical Republican/Rovian fashion: attack the messenger but don't address the message.

Sadly, these tactics seem to be effective.

And nobody is infallible, not even a general. Duh.

I thought the ad was far too tame. It should have called for Petraeus to be tried for treason along with the rest of the administration.

I am now doubly proud to have contibuted to the Move-on ad which, by the way, is 100% verifiable, something that seems to get lost in all the preening and false outrage.

WORST PRESIDENT EVER. THAT IS UNTIL THE NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. I HAD A BIG LAUGH TODAY WHEN I HEARD ON THE RADIO THAT BUSH THINKS HE HAS CONTROLLED SPENDING. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL HIM HE WAS GIVEN A SURPLUS AND TURNED IT INTO THE BIGGEST DEFICIT. PLEASE, SIT ON YOUR HANDS FOR ANOTHER 475 DAYS AND DONT SCREW ANYTHING ELSE UP.

Hey Christian in Tampa,

Ending the war is NOT supporting our troops. I'm getting a little tired of hearing this. We support our troops by finishing the job we went into Iraq to do, thereby honoring the sacrifice of all who gave their lives.

You liberals are so soft. It's too hard…we need to come home…give me a break and grow a pair K buddy?

HELLO!!! Remember Swift Boat? Did he condemn that as disgusting? What a hypocrit!!!

The president should not use our generals as policy salesmen. We all love our military people, but if president Bush uses them as political shields, and tools to spin his agenda, then they will get treated the same way he does.

He didn't use that word to describe the Swift Boat Vets ads that,contray to official U.S. Navy records, smeared the military service of Former Lt. John F.Kerry.

Can someone, or a few of the "Impeach Bush/Cheney" crowd, please explain (clearly) why Bush got us into this "disgusting" war? And don't use "he lied to us", that's not the point, i want to know for what reason Bush "lied" to get us into a war against Saddam, the Taliban, and al Qaeda?
For what purpose are we militarily engaged right now?

How could Hillary vote AGAINST this resolution?

No one would dispute that this ad by MoveOn.Org was offensive and harmful to our cause in the Middle East.

What reason could she possibly have for not standing up to these people?

Dear George Bush,

I could say the same thing about your leadership of my country for the past 8+ years, "DISGUSTING !!!!!!"

Sincerely,
U.S. (Uncle Sam) America

Excellent Henry - you are 100% right! Look at the other comments - it falls on deaf ears….there are those who need to hear one side of a debate…and can make up their minds - (aka…Democrats) - and there are those who research and find out the truth…we are called Republicans and Independents - can't wait for Rudy to win to give the Democrats more excuses as to why the election was "stolen" from them….and why can't it register homeless and the dead to vote for them….

Given Bush's track record of appointments based on toeing the company line as opposed to competence, his comdemnation of "Move On" should been seen as an affirmation of the AD.

Worst. President. Ever.

Typical Dubya - a day late and a dollar short.

Typical Dubya - fails to realize HE'S the true "betrayer".

IMPEACH BUSH & CHENEY.

Moveon.org is just another tool of the "Left Wing Conspiracy"! I wonder how many of them contribute SECRETLY to the GOP?

I thought it was disturbingly cryptic when he said that the Democrats are less afraid of "irritating the U.S. military."

Since when does the military get irritated by a political party? They're supposed to be completely objective about this sort of thing. Not to mention that the Democrats are the ones who truly support the military by trying to end the war which is straining our military and led to the ad being published in the first place.

So the propaganda, I mean advertisement, that aired in Iowa depicting a soldier with an amputated limb saying if we pull out of Iraq now, his sacrafice and the sacrafice of our dead soldiers is for nothing. It pans to a picture of the WTC with the words "They Attacked Us". Which add is disgusting???

IRAQ DID NOT ATTACK US NOR DID THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH BIN LADEN UNTIL BUSH ATTACkED IRAQ!! Bin Laden is a mass murdering criminal — not a country nor a state of mind (war on terrorism my ass).

What is so hard to understand about this. Petraeus will keep his job for a little while longer as long as he tows the line for the GOP.

Not surprising. Bush has no real respect for the military, using leaders like Generals Powell and Petraeus to further his agenda. He then cries foul when someone stands up to his lies, and accuses them of not supporting the military. MoveOn's biggest error was to play into this strategy by attacking the man and not the message.

Shame on you, President bush, for using the military for political gain.

First of, I get it, Bush sucks, but he has flatly denounced ALL 527 ads previously and that is easy as hell to find.

Secondly, just take into context what he is saying about the Democrats being afraid of Moveon, he is totally right (for once).

If the Queen Hillary said one bad word about this group, they would even be able to topple her (I would personally enjoy the MSM and Moveon duking it out, but I digress) as they wield not just power, but incredible amounts of money. And money "talks".

Latly, great posting by "Getin Pade", money is money eh Soros, even if it is oily.

Where were all these right wingers when Swift Boat attackers threw shameless attacks on Vietnam veteran John Kerry and Max Cleland? This was methodically done under the watch of Carl Rove. Move.on was right on picking Petraeus as he was not representing the views of military, but he was cherry picking the data to promote Bush's agenda. After his speech there were several international reporters in Iraq who commented that Gen Petraeus was spinning the truth. It was shameless on White House to present an army officer in uniform to spin the facts and promote their agenda. These warmongerers don't care for the troops as seen from yesterday's vote on Webb's legislation. Bush and his party do not want to give enough rest to the troops when they come back home. Disgusting!

The gloves are off, President Shrub, and your stupid war together with its stubborn supporters will be subject to relentless attack for the next 15 months. Get used to it, and get rid of that wifty Perino babe if you want someone to take the heat.

The offensive nature of this add is like a grain of sand in the desert compared to the whole desert of the offense of Bush and his thugs did by misleading America in Iraq and creating this mess. How many US soldiers gave their lives and suffered permanent injury that didn't have to? The Republicans need to clean up the mile high pile of crap that's stinking up their own backyard, before they complain about the mouse turd in their neighbor's yard.

President Bush is absolutely correct in this issue. General Petraeus has spent his life protecting and defending this country….for an ad like that to flurish in the newspaper is ridiculous. We are in a war, General Patraeus is the commander of all the forces in Iraq…every troop in the battlefield looks up to him and for this organization to do something like that just brings the moral down in the battlefield.
I say this because i am veteran and still serving this country. All this political bull crap has to stop and let the brave men and women of our armed forces do their job!!!

Thanks for standing up to MoveOn, Mr. President. I feel sad knowing that General Petraeus is crying himself to sleep at night about the mean things that they said.

"Moveon.Org represents the epitomy of special interests attempting to buy the election."

The EPITOME? Let's talk about the criminal corporation, Halliburton. Let's talk about the Swift Boat Cowards for Lies.

"Perhaps if more Americans knew the truth behind Moveon.Org - they would be seen and rejected for what they are - Anti-America socialists seeking power."

Move On is scaring the hell out of you little pathetic Repub losers, isn't it?

Move On and its group are the only ones with the guts to stand up to this worthless criminal liar and his handler, President Cheney. Their ad was right on, and it's exactly what Americans have been waiting to hear.

Henry Tucker of Ga, what do you think the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the NRA, IAPAC, etc. etc. etc. etc. do?

Another hypocritical Republican. Surprise surprise.

Bush didn't bother to say those words toward those SwiftBoat Ads during his and Kerry's campaign in 2004 - why not? Kerry served his nation IN COMBAT - Bush didn't.

General Petraeus was doing his DUTY - obeying his commander and chief

The ad was simply a declaration that the General and Bush are not telling us the complete truth about the war in iraq. And if you look at the polls after the Gen. Petraeus's meetings with congress the American People agree that we are not being told the truth.

It's a sorry excuse that the Senate Republicans are trying to make political hay from this ad. What's next? Are they going to repeal Free Speech? Habeus Corpus is still dead thanks to Bush and the GOP.

The fact is that we have a corrupt White House running a war in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Anyone having more than displeasure with this ad should have their civil liberties completely revoked.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

I find it ironic that Bush wouldn't denounce the swiftboat veterans for truth when they smeared Kerry's record in 04. Were they not doing the exact same thing? How's it feel since the shoe's on the other foot now George?

When I was a boy, I attended a small school in NJ. There, I listened carefully to my teachers describe Nazi Germany and extoll the reasons why our Uncles and Fathers, and Grandfathers were just and patriotic to risk life and limb against such despotism. Once in high school an Army officer came to make little of the "enemy" in Viet Nam and to encourage us to enlist for an opportunity to kill people.

Now, thanks to G W Bush and his corrupt cohorts, I live in a country very much like the Germany of the early 40's and I'm still being encouraged to kill people.

I ask this: Will we Americans ever be able to tell our children to go out to play and be sure to come home by dark as our parents did with us? Or will we continue to entrust these idiot politicians to do our thinking for us?

Forgive me if I believe the latter, there's no profit in honest politics and there's no hope for the taxpayer who thinks he deserves better.

Bush has lied to all of us. He is the one who is disgusting.

IMPEACH BUSH/CHENEY!

Does anybody REALLY listen to this President anymore?! Personally, I don't. Also, people that I have encountered feel the same as I do.

So I guess it really doesn't matter what Bush thinks.

Moveon.Org is funded by 5 wealthy liberals: George Soros, Herbert & Marion Sandler, Peter Lewis (Progressive Insurance), and Stephen Bing.

During the 2004 Presidential Campaign, these 5 liberal donors gave over $78 million to elect democrats. An unprecedented amount - more than the US Governments ($75 million) matching funds to the candidates.

Moveon.Org represents the epitomy of special interests attempting to buy the election. Perhaps if more Americans knew the truth behind Moveon.Org - they would be seen and rejected for what they are - Anti-America socialists seeking power.

Coming from bush,I'd say that his disapproval is a feather in moveon's cap.Betray us is a traitor for promoting bush's agenda.Where's his resignation?

I really think it is Washington and all of these ridiculous politicians who need to:

MOVE ON!

Nobody would have even known about this ad if they didn't officially kill it with their incessant talk!

I don't recall the president ever critizing Swift-Boat all I forgot that is a right wing group and that is OK…GOP is nothing but a bunch of clueless hypocrites…

Kudos to the President!

The president called the advertisement "disgusting." …

Guess what George, alot of people think you're disgusting.

ok, let's see… it took him a few days to react to the Katrina disaster… and took him 8 days to react to the moveon.com horrible ad….

wow… talk about moving on….hahahha

President Bush, it is you and your war that is DISGUSTING.
