Article 3, Section 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted. -- U.S. Constitution
Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy is apparently protected under the first amendment rights to free speech, because much speechmaking these days is truly treasonous. To say to the world that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction is not only false, it's recklessly false.
Are we all naive enough to believe that they never existed? There are those who say that Bush made statements about WMD that were intentionally false, yet these facts turned out to be inarguably true. This is more than simple misunderstanding. It is disinformation; a tactic often used in wartime to mislead an opponent to help reach a military objective. In short, those who say these things are working against the effectiveness of our soldiers, and our government. They are traitors.
Then Murtha, Pelosi, and the whole gang of useful idiots is doing nothing but providing hope and encouragement to our enemies. And they call it patriotism, and somehow Kennedy and Kerry and McCain salute it.
It's disheartening to see the purveyors of this crap spout off on our national stage. The terrorists are hoping and believing that maybe we'll knock our own buildings down for them. If this isn't aid and comfort, what more can we give them?
Bottom line is we are at war, and we had better start acting like it. It seems sometimes that the only one who knows this is "W", and it's pathetic that he has to stop and explain it to all those who are "stuck on stupid". Move on, people. There's no "there" there.
You don't have to like the fact that we are forced to confront our godless enemies in a foreign land, but you do have to recognize that it's where we are today. Our so called "leaders" should refrain from the overt treason that disingenuous partisan politics represents.

Enemies, huh? The United States has only the enemy it created--the same folks who were allies a few years ago. Another turn of the wheel and they'll be allies again. Nothing to get hung about.
Weapons of mass destruction? Let's talk about depleted uranium, napalm, and white phosphorus, all being used on civilian populations and blowing back on U.S. troops. Every day the U.S. is in Iraq, it creates more enemies.
Bush had a hardon to invade Iran all along. 9/11 just gave him the pretext. This is Bush's war-- Americans just kill and die in it.
Bush's personality is so much that of an alcoholic that it's doubtful he believes he's lying. He undoubtedly believes he's Jesus pure. That's why he needs us--to point out the difference between what he believes and what is true.
Murtha, Pelosi, Kennedy, and Kerry had all better get off the fence and start ending this war. If they don't, we'll find people who will.
The only way this war ends is with the defeat of organized terrorism. Otherwise, you are only moving it around the planet to somewhere else.
The only way Pelosi, Kennedy, and Kerry will support the end of the war is if it can happen without Bush (or his successor, probably Gingrich) getting the credit.
So, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to be much help.
helpful post.
