                               RESOLUTION


 
  To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, 
   Commanding General, Multi-National Force--Iraq, deserves the full 
  support of the Senate and strongly condemns personal attacks on the 
  honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the 
                      United States Armed Forces.

Whereas the Senate unanimously confirmed General David H. Petraeus as Commanding 
        General, Multi-National Force--Iraq, by a vote of 81-0 on January 26, 
        2007;
Whereas General Petraeus graduated first in his class at the United States Army 
        Command and General Staff College;
Whereas General Petraeus earned Masters of Public Administration and Doctoral 
        degrees in international relations from Princeton University;
Whereas General Petraeus has served multiple combat tours in Iraq, including 
        command of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) during combat 
        operations throughout the first year of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which 
        tours included both major combat operations and subsequent stability and 
        support operations;
Whereas General Petraeus supervised the development and crafting of the United 
        States Army and Marine Corps counterinsurgency manual based in large 
        measure on his combat experience in Iraq, scholarly study, and other 
        professional experiences;
Whereas General Petraeus has taken a solemn oath to protect and defend the 
        Constitution of the United States of America;
Whereas during his 35-year career, General Petraeus has amassed a distinguished 
        and unvarnished record of military service to the United States as 
        recognized by his receipt of a Defense Distinguished Service Medal, two 
        Distinguished Service Medals, two Defense Superior Service Medals, four 
        Legions of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal for valor, the State Department 
        Superior Honor Award, the NATO Meritorious Service Medal, and other 
        awards and medals; and
Whereas a recent attack through a full-page advertisement in the New York Times 
        by the liberal activist group, Moveon.org, impugns the honor and 
        integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States 
        Armed Forces: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate--
            (1) to reaffirm its support for all the men and women of 
        the United States Armed Forces, including General David H. 
        Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force--Iraq;
            (2) to strongly condemn any effort to attack the honor and 
        integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United 
        States Armed Forces; and
            (3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal 
        attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group 
        Moveon.org.
