I’m usually opposed to harsh partisan judgements, even on Free Republic. I have to admit, though, that you have posted one of the most detestable documents that I have ever seen.
What possible excuse can this man make for his betrayal of his nations interests during an armed conflict? The man has no sense of how others will judge him.
A more modest statement of his preference for the earlier ending of the U.S. role in Iraq would have been appropriate. I would have disagreed, but I understand that others must stand forward with their principles.
This is a simple statement of an intention to force the nation to lose a war. There is no defense on the grounds of humanity or pacifism or anything else. He seeks defeat for his own country and makes no bones about it.
It really is outrageous and the fact that he seems so proud of his actions is hard to stomach.
