MoveOn sense of senate.

MoveOn.org was noted in a "sense of Senate" resolution passed today.
(if this is the current version)

(8) A recent attack through a full-page advertisement in the New York Times by the liberal activist group, Moveon.org, impugns the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces.

The "troops" were noted four times in that ad

"...last week Petraeus, the architect of the escalation of troops in Iraq, said, "We say we have achieved progress, and we are obviously going to do everything we can to build on that progress."

"We may hear a plan to withdraw a few thousand American troops."

"But we won't hear what Americans are desperate to hear: a timetable for withdrawing all our troops."

"General Petraeus has actually said American troops will need to stay in Iraq for as long as ten years."

Plus noted "...more American soldier deaths in the past three months than in any other summer we've been there."

I don't know if this was removed from final passage. But if MoveOn was not mentioned...

(b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate--

(1) to reaffirm its support for all the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, including General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq;

(2) to strongly condemn any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces; and

(3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org.

My point is, it is nonsense if not disgusting to connect criticism of a politicized General with any disrespect for the troops. Or is that too personal? It does more harm to the troops to categorize MoveOn.org as liberal for wanting congress to do their jobs. Misleading some to think that they are not the majority and others to miss that only 2 out of 10 (00337 to 00346)legislative actions in the Senate passed all week! Rejected were the Levin, Feingold, Boxer, McCain, and Webb amendments INCLUDING two cloture votes on habeus corpus and D.C. voting rights.

Five troop related actions were rejected this week, two of which were only "sense of the Senate". How does that compare to the MoveOn.org ad?

[The above was an analysis of the Senate MoveOn.org stunt week, but for a coulda shoulda strategic preemption that could still have some merit.]
