Peter D. Feaver is a political science professor at Duke University and served on the National Security Council staff under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. Today, he wrote MoveOn's McCarthy moment:
"The MoveOn.org ad is vicious, and would garner comment even if it were merely one more primal scream in the coarse blogosphere debate over Iraq. But it is not an angry e-mail or blog entry. It is a deliberate attack on the senior Army commander, in a major daily newspaper, with the intention of destroying as much of his credibility as possible so that his military advice could be more easily rejected by antiwar members of Congress."
It's time to call on Democrats to step up and denounce the ad. This ad is an attack on General Petraeus and every volunteer who wears the uniform of the US.
