Betray-us vs Petraeus

Poll question: Betray-us vs Petraeus

I find the constant name-calling strident, immature, and tiresome. But worst of all, it shows a lack of wit. I thought we were on the smart side of the debate. I don't think childish name calling reveals scorn, righteousness, or understanding of the reasons why we must end this costly, terror-supporting, ass-backward occupation of Iraq. It's not even clever by the standards of elementary playground taunts.

If he's really traded in his integrity to help those neocon pirates sell a war that we lost 2000 dead soldiers ago, then he's brought dishonor to his name. If that's the case, there's really nothing worse you can call him than "General Petraeus." Stridently repeating the same unclever insult over and over makes DU as a community look like a pack of ankle biters. I think we all have something a lot more substantive to add to the debate.
