The ad war began Monday, when the Times ran a full-page ad from MoveOn charging Petraeus with “cooking the books” on the Iraq war and playing on his name by asking, “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?” Petraeus was testifying on Capitol Hill, delivering a progress report on Iraq.

Giuliani responded Friday with his own ad in the Times; he attempted to link Clinton to the attack on Petraeus. He also launched an Internet ad against Clinton on his campaign Web site and told voters in Tulsa, Okla., that Clinton should apologize to Petraeus for her “venomous attack.”

“You do not honor the troops by attacking their general at a time of war,” Giuliani said, repeating criticisms he has made since Clinton joined Democrats and some Republicans in questioning Petraeus’ more positive assessment of the war.

This is a good move on Giuliani’s part. I am tired of Hillary playing both sides and not getting called to the floor on it. Furthermore, her slandering of a decorated General in a time of war is inexcusable, but so has been the conduct of most of the Democrat Party. Anybody with an ounce of common sense could have told you six months ago what their response was going to be over the Patraeus Report. Unless he was going to report negative news it was just going to be further juvenile attacks and bed wetting from the Democrats. I have been highly critical of the Iraq War, particularly towards Bush on this issue, and I still think we should have never gone in to begin with, but I trust the word of a decorated General who has made a career of putting his life on the line for us over the past few decades, than I do that of the President or any politician, R or D.

The Democrats’ behavior has been abominable, if not down right treasonous, and I am truly stunned how so many people in this nation can support a group that hopes for the failure of their own country just so they can win more seats in Congress and advance a Marxist agenda. I weep for the future.
