How you can support General Petraeus

HotAir.com provided a link to where you can add your name and a note to a thank you card to General Petraeus. It is via Senator Mitch McConnell’s web site and it sends you a receipt confirmation email in return. Ed Morrissey at HA writes:

Remember the reception that General David Petraeus received the last time he reported to Congress on the status of the Iraq mission? He had one Senator call him a liar to his face — a Senator that wants to be President, but has found it rougher going than she predicted. A major political organization that supports and is supported by many Democrats took out a full-page ad in the New York Times implying that Petraeus was a traitor, using a playground slur on his surname.

General Petraeus returns to Congress this week, a chastised Congress that has tried its best to avoid the Iraq debate ever since Petraeus proved them wrong in the fall and winter, but one that will undoubtedly remain hostile. Nancy Pelosi has already tried telling Petraeus that he’d better deliver a negative report — or else. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wants Petraeus to have a better welcome back to the US for his report.

WMD moved to Syria: US-Israeli report will show

I can see the talking-point rolling off their lips at a joint press conference already, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid inferring that Dick Cheney must of had the CIA plant it there.

This is from the Jerusalem Post, this afternoon:

An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.

Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

Yet if Pelosi and Reid remain silent, the questions to them will be what do you know and when did you know it.
