betrayed, since he ordered GO on Clinton's Afghanistan
plan. It worked so well that the Saudis had to come
up with a new approach.
And now a lot of us feel pretty darn betrayed. I certainly do, and far, far more since Wes died. I'm thinking there really is something to the idea of "betrayal trauma" in the political sphere.

My sense of betrayal has nothing to do with whether or not the war is just. It is about how it was sold to me.
