Will the right condemn "The American Conservative"?

After the controversy surrounding the MoveOn.org ad and the flurry of calls for legislation condemning the advert and it's accusation that Petraeus had betrayed Americans, Instaputz has asked the very good question of whether or not the same people who condemned MoveOn.org will now rush to condemn "The American Conservative" for this article?

"David Petraeus is a political general. Yet in presenting his recent assessment of the Iraq War and in describing the “way forward,” Petraeus demonstrated that he is a political general of the worst kind—one who indulges in the politics of accommodation that is Washington’s bread and butter but has thereby deferred a far more urgent political imperative, namely, bringing our military policies into harmony with our political purposes." -- Andrew Bacevich in The American Conservative.
I won't be holding my breath... John Cornyn (R-TX) is apparently not going to sponsor any legislation to denounce this attack on Gen. Petraeus by TAC. As Instaputz notes, he's possibly simply been stunned into silence.
