It’s funny, now that I’ve read about the apoplectic reaction from the Republicans, how they still want 100% of the public megaphone 100% of the time. It took me about two seconds to read the ad, but even with FoxNews and their half and hour infomercial on supporting the surge, Republicans are still capable of whining. From my point of view, unless you live under a rock or live off your profits from the war, it’s clear that General Petraeus, like Colin Powell before him, and Gen. Westmoreland before him, bear fealty to the captains of industry and as such are willing to stretch the truth and varnish the negatives in order to achieve their goals of more spending and more young, dead Americans. The canard they present is that in order to make those lost lives worthy, they have to buy more bombs and guns and kill more young, and accuse those who object to this commercialization of war and death as UNPATRIOTIC!! Please -- spare me.

I especially liked the one showing that they confiscated twice as many weapons as before the "purge". Over 4,000. No mention of the 190,000 missing american weapons though.
