Reid and Pelosi: Treason From Within
Retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert “Buzz†Patterson is author of the upcoming book War Crimes: The Left’s Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror (Crown Forum, June). Recently he answered some questions from National Review Online Editor Kathryn Jean Lopez.
Kathryn Jean Lopez: “Your upcoming book begins with a quote from Cicero about how a nation “cannot survive treason from within.†Surely you’re not calling Democrats traitors. Or are you?”
“Buzz†Patterson: “I am. They certainly are if their behavior during our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is held up to the light of the U.S. Constitution. Article III, Section 3 defines treason against the United States as “adhering to (our) enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, and John Murtha, amongst others, are guilty of exactly that. When a government official stands on the floor of Congress and declares the war lost; or travels to Syria, a state-sponsor of terror, and meets with the leadership that is funneling insurgents into Iraq to kill Americans; or, publicly compares our military men and women to Nazis, Soviets in gulags, and Pol Pot; or refers to our Marines as “cold blooded killers†before an ongoing investigation is completed and charges filed, they have crossed the line and have taken their politics to the battlefield. These are behaviors that give aid and comfort to our enemy.”
Indeed. Impeach Reid and Pelosi!
