Supporting the Troops But Aiding the Enemy

Those who say that they support the troops but are against the war are blowing nothing but hot air. What they really mean is they support the troops but not the Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush. You might as well cut off the head from the body. How then can you support the body of the troops by cutting off its head? Can a fighting force stand when it is divided?

Furthermore, when they speak against the war, they do so in a way that gives aid and comfort to the terrorists. Witness, for example the rhetoric of Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois and his Democratic lackeys. The enemy was cheering at his comments comparing Guantanamo to the Murderous Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. They promote division among the troops.

Those who talk hot air like this, and give aid and comfort to the enemy by their rhetoric deserve the kind of treatment which General George Patton gave to one of his troops. He slapped him in the head for cowardice.
