It's indeed "the enemy within" that will prove more destructive than any terrorist.
Thank you for your service and thoughts.
Very nice as usual....
You could be on to something. But it's really worse than that, as we know. It's the fact that words are allowed to mean nothing or something, this or that, just about anything. We're told that his remarks were "taken out of context," but no one's told us or bothered to explain exactly in what context they were originally uttered! The words were given a very precise context (our behavior in Iraq)and an analogy (Gulag, et al). There can be no question that he meant exactly what he said, and that he's sorry not for having said it but because it turned out to be politically inconvenient.
Where's DOD in this argument? Where are the cries from readers of the Constitution, from Senators, from Congressmen who realize that Durbin's fightin' words were TREASONOUS?
W A A A Y too honorable--not remotely in keeping with this Dem's style.
"The Islamic network Al Jazeera took a considerably less nuanced view of the situation, broadcasting Durbin's Nazi fantasies to the Islamic world around the clock, confirmation from a high-ranking American of what Islamic radicals -- and American leftists -- have always believed; that America is fundamentally a force for evil in the world. There can be little doubt that Senator Durbin has made it significantly easier for Al Qaeda to recruit new terrorists to kill more of the American troops he professes to respect and admire."
This drunk with power U.S. Senator has aided and abetted the enemy and should RESIGN!!
One of the reasons I wish we would formally declare war when we go to war. All kind of good laws kick in when we do that.
Thanks.
It's simple, really. When the snakes pop their heads up out of the tall grass, we whack them with our croquet mallets...
What can one truely expect from the Party Of Treason!
(demoncraps)
Not easy to do in this case, since the bad guys aren't a nation or group of nations...
We could not formally declare war on “terror” – but we could have formally declared war on Iraq.
True, but I doubt that would still have been in effect after the January elections.
As Jay Severin (FM96.6) pointed out, after he parsed Durbin's alleged apology, a sincere apology begins with "I was wrong." Durbin does not sincerely accept accountability for his outrageous statements. Even Durbin's alleged apology is outrageously self-serving once you parse it - stripping to the bone for true meaning. The MSM is just not astute enough, and wholly lacks the integrity, to parse before the public Durbin's deceptive apology which disengenuously overruns with dissemble.
Durbins' feeble (teary and blubbering) apology is as false as his slanderous assertions made against the U.S. military.
Just what kind of crappy cowardly persons are American citizens electing to Congress? Congress is over-populated with career politicians who only represent THEIR self-interests. Term Limits anyone?
Since you're in the neighborhood today...
Thanks for the ping I.T.
I guess it's easy to apologise when you don't really mean it, Hillary probably told him how Bill used to do it!
It would be a chance to prove that has guts.
Immolation would be a Nice Touch!!!
Hang 'em High ~ Bump!
That can't be stated too often!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Not redeemed in this household. Too much blood has been spilled because of irresponsible, vile remarks like his, pelosi, dean and hanoi jane. Durbin is over and he will NEVER live down those remarks nor SHOULD he. He said 'em...he meant 'em. There are always consequences for our actions....some people never learn that however. They think they are above everything. But...let a republican say something simple and oh they want to do all they can to get rid of him. Well, durbin is finding out now what happens when you think you are above everyone else. The American people take so much and that is it. Their outrage FORCED this apology...thereore he is not redeemed because if he truly meant his apology as much as he did the hate he spewed and endangered our troops he would have never said it to begin with.
