      Sure they are. You don't think that the enemy found "General Betray-Us" to be comforting? And the fact that they paid for it constitutes "aid".

            I'll take these statements with the humor in which they must be meant :) I had direct contact with some of the MoveOn organizers when I was in college. It left me really not wanting to interact with them at all; they had a very extreme view of the world.

                And yet it would have taken less time for you to google "corky" than to respond with your question about who he was.

                  And even less if you had just not responded in the first place, seeing how you obviously have nothing worthwhile to say.

                    The reason why you have to go back that far to get a lower figure is because in every prior month for 2007, the military casualties were higher than in 2006. Higher in January 2007 than January 2006, higher in February 2007 than February 2006, higher in March 2007 than March 2006...all the way through to August. Thus the case for progress rests on a single month in which the figures were better.

                    Yup. Clearly the insurgents (you know...Those guys you're rooting for) were making progress...Progress which was rolled back by the surge. The question is whether or not that progress is sustainable. Perhaps an even larger surge would push the insurgency into oblivion. Note that one criticism of Rumsfeld was that he did not initially commit enough troops to the battlefield. Maybe that mistake can be rectified.

                    You can't draw such a conclusion from one month's figures. You have learnt nothing from the last 4 years of failure.

                          I have learned that insurgent attacks are fairly regular and frequent, which makes this one month's figures relevant. However, sustaining the progress is certainly important. The difference between you and me is that I want progress and signs of improvement make me happy. When you see signs of improvement, you are eager to dismiss them since you don't want progress.

                          If you ever tell me that I have a clue, then I will carefully reexamine whatever I just said.

                                        Sure they are. You don't think that the enemy found "General Betray-Us" to be comforting? And the fact that they paid for it constitutes "aid".

                                        Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... now that there is a clever bit of sophistry. Too bad its a bunch of bull. I bet the enemy finds Bush's actions comforting as well. Not to mention the arms that they seem to be able to acquire from the "contractors" over there. The more I think about it, the more I like your definition of traitor.

                                        This statement was never false.

                                          That isn't sophistry unless you're just very easily confused. MoveOn.org has begun a campaign designed to specifically undermine our military forces through propaganda they fund. If Bush intentionally undermined American soldiers, then it could be considered treason. If contractors intentionally provided weapons to insurgents, then it could be considered treason. Your examples, which are heavy in politics and light in substance, are examples of missteps and not willful acts to undermine the American armed forces. Even if one were to take your accusations seriously, they would be akin to friendly fire (which, of course, is not treason). Moveon.org, however, is now actively and intentionally creating propaganda designed to provide aid and comfort to the enemy. That IS treason.
