From Left Coaster:
Today an AP story tells how he is opposed by another veteran's group that actively supports the war. Although Pete Hegseth believes that his organization, Vote for Freedom, should be non-political, he stands with Republicans when they accuse Democrats of betraying the troops when they speak out against Bush's war. As usual, Republicans can't support Bush's war without smearing the opposition.
"The Democrats, unfortunately, are trying to undermine the efforts of our troops and restrict the ability of our generals to carry out their mission," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said at a July news conference with Hegseth and other members of the group Vets for Freedom, which supports a continued U.S. presence in Iraq.
But as General Wesley Clark said so passionately at the YearlyKos, this is an outrageous smear.
"President Bush, 'Mr. President, stop hiding behind Dave Petreaus and come out here and defend YOUR strategy! This is your war. You defend it.'
