Who's betraying whom?

Today, the Senate held a largely symbolic vote that should serve as a warning to all voters.  This Congressional action was in response to the cheap and cowardly attack ad sponsored by moveon.org.  The amendment simply sought:

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 condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.

Democrats often say they support the troops just not the war.  Yet here are many high-profile Dems, including Hillary and Harry Reid, refusing to denounce the attacks on the top soldier in Iraq.  Arguably worse was Barack Obama, who didn't have the courage to show up for the vote.  These are the same Democrats who unanimously supported Gen. Petraeus just eight months ago.

Are these desirable qualities of the next Commander-in-Chief?
