Their Silence Is Deafening

Not too long ago, Charlie Sykes, Patrick McIlheran and the rest of the Posse Comatose were simply outraged at organizations like MoveOn.org, when they called General Patraeus "General Betray Us." They were completely beside themselves that those dirty liberals would try to belittle and smear one of America's greatest military minds, or so they said then.

Now, they are completely silent about their military hero. Probably because of this (emphasis mine):

Speaking with Radio Free Europe on Sunday, General David Patreaus came out with two very clear statements that are not likely to make former Vice President Dick Cheney very happy. In short, Patraeus is siding with President Barack Obama on the matters of closing Guantanamo Bay prison, and ending the government sanctioned practice of torture on detainees.

As Charlie would say, "Cue the crickets."
