High Crimes and Misdemeanors

It’s been clear for some time that, under President Obama, we have switched sides in the so-called “War on Terror.” This week, he made it official.

To clear the way for stepped up shipments of arms to Syrian “rebels,” Mr. Obama waived laws that would prohibit transfers of defensive and, for that matter, offensive gear.  He had to do so since the opposition not only includes terrorists, among them Islamists like al Qaeda sworn to our destruction.  It is actually dominated by them.

On his radio and TV shows yesterday, Glenn Beck observed that this amounts to providing aid and comfort to our enemy.  He noted that would fit the definition of treason, and be an impeachable offense.  At the very least, it is reckless and a threat to our security.
