By Rep. Vito Fosella
Just wanted to add my two cents to the Rush Limbaugh controversy. The left-wing was in search of a life-saver to divert attention from their complicity in MoveOn.org’s offensive assault on General Petraeus’ character and integrity. They knew the American people were disgusted by their actions and they could never win the debate. So instead of admitting their mistake, they quickly changed the subject by twisting the words of Rush Limbaugh.
The war in Iraq is a serious subject. Our brave men and women in uniform deserve our full support – not cheap political attacks that undermine their mission. Congress should be debating the best way for America to protect our national security, win the war against the terrorists and ensure a sustainable democracy in Iraq while bringing our troops home as quickly as possible.
Rush Limbaugh is a favorite target for the left, but his support of our men and women in uniform is unquestioned. If Senators wants to debate Rush on the merits of the war, so be it. But they should not be questioning his patriotism or his commitment to those who wear our nation’s uniform.
