An Amendment To the MoveOn Resolution
by: Chris Bowers
Thu Sep 20, 2007 at 11:37:56 AM EDT

Since the Senate seems poised to vote on a Sense of the Senate resolution condemning political speech against the war and General Petraeus, at the very least the Senate should be comprehensive about it. Before the vote takes place, someone should offer an amendment to the resolution, condemning all of the following:

* Condemn Senator Hagel, who said the following about Petraeus's testimony:

(A) dirty trick on the American people when you send a military man out there to basically do a political sell-job...It's not only a dirty trick, but it's dishonest, it's hypocritical, it's dangerous and irresponsible.


* Condemn protests against the war, especially those that took place last weekend. Surely, Americans freely assembling to protest the war hurts the troops, and I bet that more than one of the protesters were MoveOn.org members.

* Condemn the press for conducting polls showing that more people think Petraeus was not being honest in his testimony than think he was being honest. Surely, they are also calling Petraeus a traitor, by suggesting that he would lie. News outlets in question include CNN and Fox News.

* Condemn those Americans who voted against members of Congress who are in favor of the war back in 2006. I know that is over forty million people, but hey, if they are going to send a message against the troops, then the Senate should send a message against them.
