MoveOn.org moves on to attack on Bush



MoveOn.org caused an uproar with its newspaper ad this week questioning the credibility and honesty of General David H. Petraeus on the eve of his testimony to Congress about the war in Iraq.

The antiwar group didn't flinch in the face of the criticism that the ad amounted to character assassination. And now MoveOn.org is moving to the airwaves with a TV spot accusing President Bush of betraying the country with his Iraq war policies.

The ad highlights the troop strength numbers showing that under Bush's plan, despite some drawdowns, there will be the same-size force next summer as there was before the so-called surge this year. The 30-second spot, set to start airing on Monday, ends with: "George Bush: A Betrayal of Trust."

The group, which claims a membership of 3.3 million, also made a similar charge against Petraeus, arguing that he had cooked the numbers on progress in Iraq in cahoots with the White House. "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" the ad asked.

Republican presidential candidates have vilified the ad and MoveOn.org, and it has caused heartburn for Democratic contenders.
