Really? What part about defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC...” do you not understand”

Frightening isn’t it? Perhaps we have a president who is an enemy. Just a thought.

No, the American president chooses not to listen to his military experts.

Actually, the Generals have three courses of action:

1) Implement the requested withdrawal
2) Convince Obamessiah to the contrary
3) Resign

“I’ll take door number 3, Bob!”

Generals are American citizens, too. If anyone, including a president, did anything to put America and American soldiers in jeapardy he/she has an obligation to stand up and be counted.

Would it be treason if a general, on demand by a president, refused to kneel? Would it be treason if a general, on demand by a president, refused to use the military for political gain?

Is it not treason for a president to refuse to uphold and defend the Constitution—particularly after he has sworn to do so? The Marxist Onada has said many times the Constitution and America are flawed. And right now, right before our very eyes he is attempting to subvert the US Constitution—a form of government that has rocketed this country from colonial status to the world’s preminent economy and military power in the short span of 235 years.

I don’t hear you calling The Messiah a traitor.

We don't have a valid president. You can't commit treason against the Pretend Emperor of the Universe.

YOU inserted the word “coup.” That is dramatically different from mobilizing public opinion to support their mission. As the article stated, they can mobilize public opinion.

The POTUS is Commander in Chief. If the generals and/or Secy Gates do not like his commands, and don’t wish to follow them, they can resign. They can, as civiilans, run for public office against Obama or anyone they choose. But they cannot undertake a coup d’etat. We are not a banana republic. General Petraeus and Secy Gates know that.

>>>TREASON!<<<

The way you worded your post, you are, unmistakeably, accusing Gates, Petraeus and Oderino of treason.

I will elect to think you worded it badly and didn't mean it the way it came across.

If I'm wrong - let me know so I can write you off as a patriot.
