After coming to the painful conclusion that the war is over, the left's latest tactic is taking the credit away from American soldiers and giving it solely to the Iraqis. They can't accept that US servicemen won the conflict, it boggles their minds. But hey, lets not question their patriotism.....
The leader of the influential liberal organization MoveOn.org said Thursday it was a mistake to use "Betray Us" in a headline about General David Petraeus in a controversial New York Times advertisement last year.
But MoveOn executive director Eli Pariser defended the ad's criticism of the troop surge in Iraq.
Pariser, whose organization will celebrate its 10th anniversary Monday, said violence was down in Iraq, but that the Iraqi government has not made enough strides in reconciling differences between competing Sunni and Shiite religious factions.
Pariser told Gannett News Service and USA TODAY that a decline in violence would have come without the troop surge ordered last year by President George W. Bush.
Many military experts have credited the influx of more than 30,000 additional troops for making many areas of Iraq safer and more under the control of Iraqi forces than they were a year ago.

The only people in history to say " Okay we won, can we surrendor now?".
Laws of the universe do not apply to the liberal mind.

I jumped off the MoveOn bandwagon when they went after Fox News. At that point, it was clear that their agenda did not include the right to free speech. They've degenerated into delusional derangement ever since.

"...the influential liberal organization MoveOn.org ...?" Really? If having an innate ability to alienate and disgust normal people is influential, well, okay. Seems more like they're just a legend in their own minds.

What do libs have that would make a rational person want to reach across the aisle? They disgust me more as each day passes.
