I was beyond disgusted when I saw this advertisement on our beloved blog this evening. Sadly, we can’t take it down without losing all of our other lovely ads. But what we can do is send in our own contributions to General Petraeus’ “special thank you card” and tell the war mongering son of a bitch just what we think of him. Share your responses in the comments below! I’ll see you down there, I’m working on mine as we speak.

Update: So I sent in my thank you note and got an email response from the Mitch McConnell’s Senate campaign, which is sponsoring this whole thing, assuring me that they “will send the… message to General Petraeus.” Great! I’m so happy he’ll read what I have to say. Here’s my letter with added links to some choice Petraeus trivia:

Dear Davey “Peaches” Petraeus,

From the moment you set foot in Iraq I knew you were destined for great things. You have probably done more than anyone aside from George W. himself to spread the President’s dual War on Terror strategeries of wasting billions of American tax dollars and getting our troops killed.

First, there was that time where you established a corrupt police force in Mosul that ended up giving all their weapons and uniforms to the insurgency. Then there was the other time you probably accidentally armed the insurgency by losing all of those AK-47’s. More recently, you’ve made several appearances before Congress where you tirelessly fudged the numbers to create the illusion of progress in Iraq so this war could drag on further and further. More importantly, though you claimed we have made advances in Iraq, you still managed to ask for more and more troops to maximize the amount of money spent on this war and the number of lives lost.

You are a true crusader for death and waste. See you in hell.
