Disloyalty occurs once a decision has been made. At that point, anyone interested in future wins shuts up and faces the "enemy" as a united front. Wars are not won when the troops shoot their leaders in the back.

First, this is not a war and the analogy leads to a false conclusion. It is a clash of political visions, and we have found our own leadership wanting. When our political leadership fumbles in the direction we are headed it is our right, our duty, to do what we can to put ourselves back on the right path. As Newt reminds us our Republic was founded not on a contract between ourselves and our government but on a convenant. There is a world of difference.

Second, wars are also not won when the troops blindly follow their leaders into the valley of death. The oath I took as a serving officer was to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

I believe President Bush took that same oath and he has never given me a reason to doubt that he will uphold that oath. He has already heard Miers, we have not.

If you are employed by someone, and you do not agree with their decision, then you terminate your employment. You do not go behind the back of your employer and undermine him. I repeat, anyone in the Whitehouse who is speaking out of turn once that decision was made, should be TERMINATED.
