Move over dot nut has put a full page ad in a major paper accusing the honorable General David Petraeus of “Cooking the books for the White House.”
And do you know what this means? The o
nly news they’ll believe is bad news. Think about that for a second…
The fruit bat contingent throws its lot in with the Dem leadership (Pelosi, Reid, Clyburn) saying that if the country wins the democrats lose. When you throw your lot in with a defeatist agenda like that, it’s no wonder these folks cheer our country’s defeat.
An excerpt:

Every independent report on the ground situation in Iraq shows that the surge strategy has failed. Yet the General claims a reduction in violence. That’s because, according to the New York Times, the Pentagon has adopted a bizarre formula for keeping tabs on violence. For example, deaths by car bombs don’t count. The Washington Post reported that assassinations only count if you’re shot in the back of the head — not the front. According to the Associated Press, there have been more civilian deaths and more American soldier deaths in the past three months than in any other summer we’ve been there. We’ll hear of neighborhoods where violence has decreased. But we won’t hear that those neighborhoods have been ethnically cleansed.

Today in testimony offered in response to a direct question about the above claim, Petraeus said about the claims, “They are false, yes.”
What’s move over dot nut talking about? A WaPo article last week which included this observation which countered the claim. Why didn’t the following make the move over dot nut ad?

Senior U.S. officers in Baghdad disputed the accuracy and conclusions of the largely negative GAO report, which they said had adopted a flawed counting methodology used by the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Many of those conclusions were also reflected in last month’s pessimistic National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq.

Here’s Petraeus’ violence-o-meter:
