What Is The Primary Definition Of “Treason?”

The definition that most people would come up with almost instantly is “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.” If that were all there is to it, I would be calling on the government to charge US Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker with treason right this very minute. Unfortunately, there are other requirements, and the Obama administration doesn’t see the Taliban and other terrorists as the enemy. So it won’t happen.

Be prepared. This will not be an entirely bloodless discussion. I’m fed up to the neck with summer soldiers, sunshine patriots, and administration fifth columnists. It isn’t bad enough that our Wimp-in-Chief has fallen all over himself apologizing to troglodytes for a military error in judgment. It isn’t bad enough that the White House and the State Department have issued pathetic further apologies and then claimed that the apologies to Hamid Karzai had “calmed things down.” It isn’t bad enough that after those statements, two more American soldiers were murdered in cold blood by mad-dog members of the Afghan Security Force.

But now the limp-wristed academic and career “diplomat” Ryan Crocker has placed several big smooches on Karzai’s behind. Karzai is allegedly our “partner” in democracy in Afghanistan. In fact, he’s just another crooked, lying, self-dealing wannabe warlord in a nation of frothing-at-the-mouth primitives. Instead of at least pretending to accept the apologies and bring some hint of peace to this nation of cave-dwellers, Karzai rushed to get on national and BBC television to pour gasoline on the flames of Islamic hatred.

He didn’t even bother to disguise what he said on Afghan television when he extended his remarks to the BBC. Said the Mussolini of the Middle East: “Representing the Afghan nation and their pure sentiments, in fact the Islamic people, once again we call on the US government to bring the perpetrators of the act to justice and put them on trial and punish them.” This was after he told his own people “I have discussed the Quran burning with jihadi leaders, scholars and elected officials.” At least unlike our own pissant president, Karzai is not afraid to identify his fellow primitives as jihadists.

Instead of Richard the Lionheart to lead us, we have Barack the Faint of Heart. A fish rots from the head down. This rotting fish called the Obama administration has rotted down to the ambassadorial level. And Crocker stinks like a dead fish in the sun. In response to Karzai’s inflammatory remarks, Crocker issued his own statement. “If there are going to be proceedings, they are going to be US proceedings under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), and I don’t think there is any question or doubt on the part of the Afghan government that that is exactly how it’s going to go.”

Why would the Afghan government have any doubts? They long ago figured out we have a sob-sister Islamofriendly president and a host of ambassadors with the boldness of a titmouse. They’ve already seen multiple apologies for a simple mistake. They see an American government that won’t even justify the reasoning behind the Koran burnings (I refuse to change the way I spell Koran to make the followers of Mohammed happy).

The pages of the Korans in question were interlineated by the hands of the practitioners of the religion of peace. Karzai should be thanking our military, not condemning it, since writing in a Koran is a major desecration in and of itself. The Korans were part of an entire cache of terrorist materials, manuals and messages between jihadis. The only error the military made was to let the local bloodthirsty and perpetually indignant beheaders know that the Korans were being destroyed. They should have burned the evidence behind high walls in private with no notice to anyone from the outside.

Crocker joined General Allen in announcing that they are really, really, really sorry, but the Koran burning and accompanying murders won’t affect the timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan. Oh, yeah? I’ll bet we’ll see an all-new timetable within the next few weeks. And despite the boost that will give jihadis who will say “we drove the British out, then we drove the Russians out, and now we’ve driven the Americans out,” it would probably be a good idea. If we’re not going to secure our bases, our embassy, and anywhere an American soldier goes, we should get them out of harm’s way—now! If we’re not going to issue orders to shoot first and ask questions later, it’s time to leave. While you’re pondering this, remember that two of the murdered Americans were officers shot in the back of the head in the supposedly secure Afghan Interior Ministry building.

And to put the frosting on this s—t cake, we have an American ambassador, in the enemy’s homeland, condemning American soldiers in advance and promising that those who made a [questionable] mistake will be criminally prosecuted. The Afghans are counting on it, and we won’t let them down. This is much juicier than the ridiculous war crimes charges against four Navy SEALs who gave nasty looks to a mass-murdering Islamic inmate captured on a battlefield. Our only hope is that the result of this traitorous act by the administration will meet with the same results as the SEALs prosecution. Total acquittal.

So let me summarize. Burn in hell, Barack Obama. Burn in hell, Hillary Clinton. Burn in hell, Ryan Crocker. Burn in hell, political generals. Burn in hell, Hamid Karzai. Burn in hell, Taliban. And burn in hell, all of you cave-dwelling bastards in Afghanistan.

Ite, missa est.
