“2 weeks ago, General Petraeus presented Congress with the progress report that we requested. Rather than encountering a fair dialogue on the situation in Iraq, he was confronted with an accusation of treason by one of the Nation's most prominent and well-funded liberal advocacy organizations.

The men and women of our Armed Forces have committed themselves to the defense of this Nation. I ask my colleagues, who will come to their defense when their integrity and patriotism come under attack?”
