"The information we had in the intelligence committee was not the same information being given to the American people. I couldn't believe it," Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said Wednesday when talking on the Senate floor...

I am embarrassed that someone like Dick Durbin is an American. Dick, stop insulting my and millions of other Americans intelligence. We could see the writing on the wall since 1979. YOU GUYS IN WASHINGTON are the ones who decided not to do anything about terrorism. I read a freaking article in High School in the mid-80's about all of the terrorists that inhabited Syria. All through the 90's, the nightly news talked about how awful Saddam was at least a few nights a week. We went to war with him in 1991. He fired missles into Israel. I specifically remember seeing the damage done by the missles that our Patriot system did not intercept. Explain Abu Nidal. Explain Saddam and Sudan. Explain Saddam, Osirak and the French. Explain Saddam's bunkers and the Germans. Explain Saddam's WMD removal with the Russians and the Syrians.

This "different intelligence" BS is insulting. Anyone who has been paying even remote attention to world news since 1980 could see for themselves what kind of monster Saddam was and what he was capable of. Durbin, you may have had to be convinced in 2002 by an intelligence report to go after Saddam, but MANY Americans have known for years that Saddam would have to be dealt with sometime. Much like we know Lil Kim and others will have to be dealt with.

The only thing most of Congress has shown itself to be good for for a while now is playing "kick the can" with America's problems. Heaven forbid you guys have to debate serious problems and come to agreements on methods for successful reforms.

Personally, I am sick and tired of listening to whiny crybabies in Washington who are supposed to be the REPRESENTATIVES of this great country. Do you freaking jobs. Look at reality. Take the threats to our nation seriously or GO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO!!!

Thank the people of Illinois, and Michigan, and Massachusetts, and New York, and Vermont, and California (shall I go on?) for electing not 1, but 2 lame Senators to help lead our Nation. I live in Michigan and am ashamed of my two Senators, but even those two can’t compare with the traitorous rhetoric of Dick the Durbin. I have finally gone to the side of Term Limits as the only solution. Read Sen. Tom Coburn’s “Breach of Trust” and after it sickens you, then you’ll see that we have to kick out the Ruling Class, even the “good ones” and go back to Citizen legislators who won’t make a career out of “serving.”
