"My statement in the Senate was critical of the policies of this Administration, which add to the risk our soldiers face," he said in a statement released Friday afternoon. "I have learned from my statement that historical parallels can be misused and misunderstood. I sincerely regret if what I said caused anyone to misunderstand my true feelings: Our soldiers around the world and their families at home deserve our respect, admiration and total support."

Nice try, No cigar, imo.

No Sen Turbin your remarks were not misunderstood. In fact they were quite clear. You sir, are no gentlman and they make you at the very least guilty of Sedition!

We didn't misunderstand him at all. It's very clear what he meant.

My guess is that that his 'true feelings' were well understood by all.

What part of "American soldiers are acting like Nazis" did we miss, Senator Dhimmi?

From Investors ......"Al-Qahtani is the so-called 20th hijacker of 9-11. Among the other "torture" techniques said to have been used in his interrogation is showing him pictures of the burning towers, the incinerated bodies and the deaths of 2,973 Americans.

It might not be a bad idea if Sen. Durbin and his brethren were forced to look at them again as well."

This isn't going away....Durbin opened a hornets nest here. Cheney spoke out today.... Bush will soon.....next will be calls to have Durbin censured.

This is gaining steam but the hour.

Dickie is going to get consumed by the backlash.

Never mind the risks our soldiers are going to face now, thanks to your "bullship" remarks that just encouraged the terrorists to no end, you friggin' mindless bonehead!
