Well, I just have to rebuke you for saying that the president of the United States is "giving aid and comfort and support to our enemies."

That is just way over the top.

Instead of saying "aid and comfort," say "Obama is giving sustenance to our enemies."

Conway: U.S. Withdrawal Deadline Boosts Taliban in Afghan War

"The top U.S. Marine general made a sharp departure from the White House’s talking points on Afghanistan, saying President Barack Obama’s promised July 2011 deadline to start withdrawing troops from the country had given “sustenance” to the Taliban.

So don't you DARE say "aid, comfort, and support."

Oh, oh, there IS this:

sustenance - Moby Thesaurus II by Grady Ward, 1.0:/p>

104 Moby Thesaurus words for "sustenance": TLC, aid, aliment, alimentation, alimony, backing, board, bread,bread and butter, care, carriage, carrying, cheer, chow, comestibles, continualness, continuance, continuation, continuity, creature comfort, cuisine, daily bread, eatables, eats, economic support, edibles, endowment, endurance, extension, fare, fast food, feast, food...

Oops. Never mind...
