Is the senate and congress commiting TREASON???

Is the senate and congress committing TREASON when giving the president of the US a time line when OUR troops have to be out of IRAQ.
they are aiding and abeding the enemy by giving them specific information as to when and where our troops will be leaving Iraq.

under the Constitution of the United States that is considered Treason, and if they are committing treason their punishment should be???

to those who have answered Thank You
as ex Military I and VERY Patriotic and I would willingly die for OUR counrty (on the contingent) that we are being invaded or the war is being brought to OUR door, I feel that this war isn't all it was supposed to be BUT i did vote for Bush and while I don't agree.... at LEAST he does believe wheat he is doing is right. the question isn't is Bush committing treason HE IS OUR COMMANDER AND CHIEF it is whether cong and sen is, and I was outraged in clintons time (per a resp to my Q

Imagine two scenarios.

In the first, you are dumped in the middle of the ocean and have no idea where you are. After a couple days of straining to stay afloat, you finally give up and the ocean claims your body. In this case, there is no question: you will die.

In the second scenario, you are dumped into the ocean, but you know that fishing boats ply those waters every Friday and Monday. Hence, you know exactly how long you need to stay alive, and you will find the strength to do it. You are definitely going to stay alive because you can see the end of your predicament.

The idiot Libs are doing the same thing with the terrorists: giving them an exact date they can circle on their jihadist calendars.

In a letter from (thankfully dead) Al-Zarkawi to his followers, he implored them to keep fighting, even though the odds appeared hopeless. Their salvation would inevitably come in the form of naive American "anti-war" demonstrators. They would derail support for the military conflict and give the insurgents victory by default. Do you think it would be easy to recruit insurgents if they weren't told how in every conflict well-intentioned but nighmarishly stupid and naive people always try to get the U.S. to pull out its troops? These insurgents know it is just a matter of time. They are the person who was thrown into the ocean, but know he only has to hold on a little longer.

Considering that our victory will be secured once we have made the Iraqi military and police strong enough to handle the conflict on their own, it is insanity to pull out now. We are so close to getting the Iraqi government ready to stand on its own. Once it can bear the brunt of the conflict, victory is assured.

Everyone seems to forget that we don't have to see this conflict to its conclusion. The Iraqi government will take over. We just have to stay a short time longer until they can handle the situation themselves. Do Libs not understand this? Is their action treason? Yes, it is emboldening the enemy. It is certainly cause to question not only their patriotism but also their sanity.

Vote them out.

Execute them all.

What a stupid question! It is Pres. Bush who is committing treason by damaging the security of our country.

Yes, and punishment should be serving in the soup kitchens that they greated on the welfare system!

no. this is nothing new,were you outraged and calling for punishment about the repub congress under clinton

Nope.

This war is treason, the congress (except Ron Paul) committed treason when they allowed this war in the first place. Watch Terrostorm on Google video for free, learn.

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT IN '08!

I've read the constitution many times and no where did i see the pulling out of a war you can't win being an act of treason...

if you want more soldiers to die in a "war" we can't "win" then i would say THAT is an act of treason....pulling them out is supporting the troops and supporting America...Iraq is not the only country on the planet that terrorists can train and live in safely...we'd have to invade half the planet to be considered "safe"...

Yep and put them back on the short bus where they belong

President Bush committed treason when he involved us by lies into a war. The congress is no better.

Doesn't Fox news keep you busy?

The democrats are always bad at war. THANK GOD Bush is our president. Otherwise we'd be communist.

i like loTR88s idea. if you vote them out, they'll be replaced with someone just like them.

If it is specificized in the constitution this yes. Yet, by the checks and ballances they are allowed to handle that matter. What i think is wrong, is attaching a rider the bill that would finance our soldiers. This has left the without food, they know very wel that Bush was not going to sign it if it had any indecation of a time limit of any sourt.

Nope.

Congress has the power of the purse and can legally cut off war funding anytime they want.

I would prefer that instead of telling the President when the soldiers need to be pulled out, that they attach a simple statement to the next supplimental war funding bill saying that Congress will not fund the war after a specific date and not to come crying (or whining to the press) for more money.

Afterall it was Bush's boy, Wolfowitz, who said that the war wouldn't exceed $50 billion. Since the war is at $500 billion and growing, Congress should stop funding it.

I'm a project manager and if my costs are 10x higher than I told the client, I'm out of a job. Plain and simple.

constitution doesnt explicitly lay out the procedure for determining treason; its a case by case and often self-evident incident.

of course, going to syria in burkas to be used as a propaganda tool when you have no position or place outside of the US borders seems somewhat akin to treason.

Maybe that's why their approval rating is lower than the President's.

YES!

It couldn't be more obvious to anyone with a brain cell that telling the enemy when you're leaving is moronic, but Democrats seem to led by blind hatred, not common sense.

Nope. Stated timeline or not, the insurgents know they only need wait us out. We can't stay in THEIR country forever, but BushCo can bankrupt ours!

Naw....they are just numb from the neck up. Poor souls need one of their own programs and new backbones to actually join the realm of the living. I doubt if that happens anytime soon. Forcing the pullout of Vietnam got into their blood-the exhilaration of power to force our troops out of a fight and allowing 3 million people to suffer and die. Boy, must be heady stuff. They are still at it. Somalia was a taste but now they have a real war to back out of again. They must be having visions of tiptoeing thru the tulips once again.

yes they are, but there is another way they are commiting treason. the president is commander and chief of the us military. not the congress. they have tried to manage the war by including things into the funding bills and taking his ability to run the war away from him. that is treason. the only thing they can do is cut off funding. thats it.

to bad abe lincoln isnt president. he had congressmen deported for speaking out against the civil war.

No, only the Democrats in Congress are committing treason.
