Let's get something straight here. The insurgency is there BECAUSE we invaded Iraq. So once again you give us a circular argument. You try to justify the war by stating a condition that arose because of the war. Sorry, try again.

If you read the above section of the quote you selectively quoted, you would read how I wrote that I know people on the defeatist/Anti Bush crowd I am talking about don't straight up say anything overtly treasonous, because they are politicking and want to come off like they completely support the troops when in fact they don't. It's the mentality and your ideal "ends" that are the primary problem.
and if you read above the selection of the quote you are trying to justify you'll see this little gem:

Quote:
People here seem to think that I am not ok with people dissenting, that I am some raving lunatic after a one Dubya world order. I don't care that people don't agree with the war, I don't care if you dissent. All I'm saying is a lot of what I hear isn't dissent, it is treasonous.
Now, this indicates that either you are trying to worm your way out of a hole you dug for yourself, or you failed grammar.

You either DID accuse us of being treasonous, for some reason thinking we wouldn't call you on it, and then when we DID call you on it, you tried to wiggle out of the trap you'd set for yourself.

Either that OR you are unaware that a paragraph is supposed to contain a single subject theme. If you talk about "people here" in your paragraph, and then fail to specify "people in places other than here" in later sentences in that same paragraph, then you are, whether you are good enough with grammar to realize it or not, talking about "people here" throughout the entire paragraph.

Now, I've read your posts before and you don't seem to have any glaring issues with grammar. So how do you explain what you said? I'll give you a hint - the people here are a bit better informed than the average American, so using the old republican trick of pretending you never said it now that you're caught will not work.
