If it wasn't so pathetic it would actually be funny the way you Conservatives pretend to have such high standards when you're slandering Democrats but no standards whatsoever when it comes to your president!
I'm an equal opportunity slanderer, so that don't play here.
There have been enough insiders who have said that Bush & Co. were intent on invading Iraq from the very first day they stole the 2000 election. 9-11 had nothing to do with these plans other than knocking the nation into a stupor which allowed this administration to literally get away with murder.
Speculation. Even if it WAS true, it STILL does not meet the standard for treason.
Leaving aside the conspiracy theories about 9-11 and why this president capitalized on our nation's biggest tradjedy and used it as a pretext for violating international law, the fact remains that many lies have been told over the years to justify this quagmire. First there was "faulty" intelligence which Bush (conveniently) blamed on the C.I.A while refusing to hold anyone accountable. Then there was the bogus link to Al Qaeda which the C.I.A. debunked and the White House finally had to admit never existed before the invasion. And the list goes on and on but the bottom line is that the president is only authorized by the Constitution to send troops into harm's way in cases of self defense, or national security.
We invaded Afghanistan when the government of that nation refused to turn over a terrorist who claimed to have been behind 9/11. There was no "violation of international law," and in case it has slipped your memory, the invasion of Afghanistan was NOT a unilateral strike.
The "faulty intelligence" almost every intelligence agency in the world posessed? Damn, we ARE good.
Going after an enemy that struck our country, and the government that harbored him is justifiable to just about anyone capable of rational thought.
With our own C.I.A. telling us that Bush is killing our troops in a "war" that is only harming our national security I would say that yes...this is a case of treason cut and dried.
If a Democratic president had committed an error of the same magnitude I doubt that you'd be splitting hairs the way you are over the definition of words Gunny!
