There is no other possible outcome
Bush betrayed the military � especially the troops, who do the actual fighting � when he illegally invaded Iraq.
He betrayed the military again, with some collusion from some of its generals � especially, again, the troops who do the actual fighting � when he removed the Geneva Conventions as the primary protection of our own troops.
One can support Bush, or one can "support the troops". One cannot do both. And to support Bush is to spit on the troops.
With the actions, authorized all the way to Bush, resulting from the abandonment of the Conventions, and depicted in the Gharib photos, Bush has handed Osama bin Laden a huge moral victory: validation that the United States is exactly as its self-generated enemies say.
He has destroyed the U.S.'s moral standing in the world; the U.S. can no longer criticize others for violating human rights. And that, alone, is so contrary to the interests of the U.S. it shreds his oath by violating his foremost duty: national security.
