What larks, eh Pip? The Senate resolution to condemn MoveOn for exposing Petraeus as a mouthpiece for the Bush administration. Bush saying that he thought the ad "disgusting," thought the attack on Petraeus "an attack on the military itself." What a surprising response.
The Surge is working my arse. Working to what end? To temporarily displace some corner boys in Baghdad? At the cost of how many American lives, how many hundreds of millions of dollars?
I'm glad MoveOn has moved its focus back on the war. Was myself disgusted by how in the last presidential election the organization backed off criticism of the war, thinking that doing so would help Kerry win. Took the midterms to make them see what should have been obvious two years previously: It's the war, stupid!
There once was a General Petraeus
Who they said would never betray us
But the war that he pimped
Gave Uncle Sam a bad limp
And in general served to dismay us
