I know that my West Point classmates have commanded battalions in Iraq, so the question is personally poignant.
Would my men be not allowed to stop an obvious sectarian massacre unfolding before our eyes? Given that the enemy in Iraq is not in the habit of wearing uniforms (of their own), how does the sergeant leading a squad know if the thugs his squad encounters are Al Qaeda or a sectarian militia that the Dhimmi-crats want left alone?
Furthermore, why doesn't the legislation demand that the President negotiate a cease fire with Al Qaeda? After all, if Field Marshal Reid and General Pelosi say that we have lost, why are we not negotiating for truce terms so that our troops can withdraw without being shot in the back? Oh, I forgot, Pelosio Rose denies that Al Qaeda is even in Iraq-- except for when she sponsors legislation that gives our troops authority to engage them there...
The Democrats are so clueless on military policy-- they don't even know how to conduct a proper surrender.
TREASONOUS FOOLS!
Benedict Arnold Patriot Brigade
Benedict Arnold started as an ardent Patriot, He is quoted as saying, “Good God,” “are the Americans all asleep and tamely giving up their Liberties. We remember him mostly for betraying the cause of Liberty, The American Cause”. Benedict Arnold’s betrayal lay not in belief that British held the morale high ground. Nor that he became disenchanted with the Cause of Liberty. He was not a coward during the military engagements he took part in. In 1777 his horse was shot out from under him. As a token of Congress’s admiration of his brave conduct Congress promoted him to Major General and gave him a new horse.
Some so-called “Patriots” choose to betray America, sometimes out of principle but most for personal gain. Arnold’s true issue lay in the abuse of his position of authority and trust: he would betray West Point and its garrison “and if necessary the entire American war effort” to secure his own success. His treason was not that of a principled man but that of a self-serving one.
What we have now are Benedict Arnold Patriots who pretend to care for America, who have even served with distinguished service in the military, as did Benedict Arnold.
Of course the Benedict Arnold Patriots will claim that they are presenting dissenting views that it is our tradition and right. Who can disagree! But please explain Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, declaring the war in Iraq is lost with American and allied troops in the field at risk 100% of the time. Is this not aid and comfort to the enemy? How will the enemy not take comfort in this statement, not an off-handed remark? They just need to wait us out and they prevail. If this attitude continues and America is attacked again, then they must be held accountable. Let them have their opinions but let them also have their responsibilities.
Our duty is to present to America and rest of the world the Benedict Arnold Patriots Brigade.
These are people who claim to be American patriots but in reality are Benedict Arnold Patriots.
The selection process should be carefully thought out so it does not become Neo-McCarthyism. This group should not contain Hollywood fools or inverted academics who cannot park a bicycle straight. The people selected must have position, or power, or influences to affect the course of America. Their self-serving mentality has to have a reoccurring record. It should never be about party or likeability but about their ambitions, or self-hatred, or greed for power.
My nominations:
Harry Reid, John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry.
Let the world see who are in the Benedict Arnold Patriots Brigade- pass it on
