    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Rick Scarborough of Vision America   weighs in on the recent <A title="http://www.votevets.org/" href="http://www.votevets.org/">VoteVets.org</a> ad challenging President Bush   and members of Congress to <A title="http://www.yorkdispatch.com/nationworld/ci_5862952" href="http://www.yorkdispatch.com/nationworld/ci_5862952">change course</a> regarding the War in Iraq, saying that while he respects the First Amendment as   much as anyone, this is not an example of free speech but rather of <A title="http://www.visionamerica.us/site/News2?abbr=RSR&amp;page=NewsArticle&amp;id=7462" href="http://www.visionamerica.us/site/News2?abbr=RSR&amp;page=NewsArticle&amp;id=7462">treasonous   speech</a>: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>I believe   that many in Congress, the press, academia, Hollywood and even retired military, are   committing acts that border on treason as they assail our President&rsquo;s policies   regarding the execution of the War on Terror. I hurt for our armed forces that   are in harms (sic) way   this very hour, as news arrives to their doorstep in Iraq and Afghanistan via the internet and other sources,   of the growing dissent of the left and their efforts to handcuff the nation&rsquo;s   Commander in Chief as he seeks to execute the war.</p>
<p>On   Wednesday, three retired generals challenged a dozen members of Congress in an   ad campaign sponsored by VoteVets.org, urging them to cut off funding for the   war and thereby force the President to withdraw troops. Had such high-tech and   low-down movements existed in previous generations, America   would have never won a war. Generals John Batiste, John Eaton and Wesley Clark   should be ashamed of what they are doing. No amount of suicide bombers could   wreck (sic) so much havoc upon our   military establishment as the words of these men - the effect of which is to   communicate to our enemies to be patient and you will   win.</p>
<p>America was united   when this war was initiated. Hindsight is always 20/20, though it is clear to   any informed observer that hindsight regarding the War on Terror is selective.   Looking back over the past five years we can see numerous mistakes in the way   the war has been executed, but we must never forget that we have not had a   single successful strike on American soil since 9-11. To God be all praise and   thanks for that! But President Bush deserves credit for his steadfast resolve in   facing the evil of militant Islamic terrorists in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Only fools   and blind men believe that withdrawal from Iraq at   this stage of the game will not result in the massive slaughter of innocent   human life. Generals certainly ought to know better. It seems that "Treason is   in Season" in America and none dare call it   that!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>None dare call it treason &hellip; except   for Scarborough of course, as he openly accuses   three retired US Generals of being more dangerous to this country than an   infinite number of suicide bombers</p>
