Anti-War to the extreme
MoveOn.org, an online anti-war group published an offensive ad in The New York Times on Monday that read, "General Petraeus or General Betray Us." This angered many Democrats, who have been trying to gain support in Congress by pledging to end the war. This ad was viewed by many Republican's as "over the top." This ad along with General Petraeus's testimony seemed to renew the confidence of many Republicans, as well as cement President Bush's support among them. Petraeus told Congress that enough stability had been achieved to withdraw 30,000 troops by next summer.

I agree that the ad was over the top. If one thinks about what they really meant, it makes sense: Petraeus is lying to the American people. At first glance, however, it seems that they are calling him a traitor to the government.
