THIS IS HOW STUPID THE CONSERVATIVE BASE IS

First, the news from Iraq:

Powerful Iraqi cleric flirting with Shiite militant message
By HAMZA HENDAWI and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA – 9 hours ago

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric has been quietly issuing religious edicts declaring that armed resistance against U.S.-led foreign troops is permissible — a potentially significant shift by a key supporter of the Washington-backed government in Baghdad.

A senior aide to the prime minister, al-Maliki, said he was not aware of the fatwas, but added that the "rejection of the occupation is a legal and religious principle" and that top Shiite clerics were free to make their own decisions.

To recap for the BushBots reading this: The leading Shiite cleric and the President of Iraq BOTH think of Americans as occupiers. Now, here's how one of the wingnut maggots reacts to this (from Jihad Watch):

What's the penalty for treason ?

If irrefutable proof exists, take him out.

No free go cards for imams or religious leaders.

That's right, "my friends," in BushWorld, resistance to foreign occupation is treason!
