...they'd been asking Rumsfeld for the same thing

He was the SecDef and ran the war. You do understand that don't you? The present SecDef asked for more troops and Paul and all the other traitorous democrats said no. As a veteran of an unpopular war I'm a little touchy when it comes to backing the American warriors. Ron Paul turned his back on these troops and I will never forgive him.

[George W. Bush]

No, the Pentagon was asking for more troops all along. Rumsfeld always said no, we have enough. So, is he a traitor? Was Bush a traitor for following Rumsfeld's advice?

I'm not telling you to change your feelings about Paul. I'm just saying people fling around the word traitor until it becomes meaningless.
