Durbin: American soldiers like Nazis, Pol Pot, Stalin

Recent visitors seem to have this bizarre sympathy towards the Islamofascists that want us dead. I don't know, maybe these terrorists had their goats stolen from them when they were kids, or Ali's inner jihadist was wounded when his sweetheart spurned his advances at age 17...right before he cut her head off in the name of Allah (did she get 72 virgins? No, that's right, she's considered subhuman and inferior!). Either way, it's a strange and interesting phenomena to watch the left get all hot and bothered over discomfort caused to the vermin detained in Gitmo. And that's what it is...discomfort, not torture!

Well, now said visitors have an ally in the U.S. Senate. Actually, they seem to have quite a few of them (Hillary, Leahy, Scuba Boy Kennedy, etc.). It's no secret that a large portion of the Democratic party loathes (as Bill Clinton once wrote) the Military. To them, the whole idea of maintaining a national defense is as waste of time. However, I'm specifically referring to Dick (how appropriate) Durbin.

Durbin referred to the A/C being cranked up to make it cold, and the A/C not being used to make it about 100 degrees. So it never gets that hot in the Middle East? That will no doubt come as a shock to our soldiers in 120-degree Iraq right now. Durbin seems to be saying that 100 degrees is too hot for a poor widdle terrorist, but acceptable for our own soldiers. Then again, his disdain for our soldiers is apparent in his own words.

Durbin's comments on the Senate floor:

If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

Wow...just "wow"! I see Dick got his "gulag" talking points from Amnesty International. But hey, why quip about semantics?

The outrage that flooded Durbin the Turban's office caused him to backpedal. No, wait...my bad! It caused him to refuse to apologize and ally his sympathies with the cretins in Gitmo, falsely claiming they're afforded rights under the Geneva conventions. Then again, what part of the Geneva conventions are we breaking? Not that it matters, because again...these jihadists are not covered by Geneva! (And please...spare me your "Yes they are, because blahblahblah")

Like OpinionJournal says, "We are fighting an enemy that murdered 3,000 innocent people on American soil 3 1/2 years ago and would murder millions more if given the chance--and according to Dick Durbin, our soldiers are the Nazis." Your assessment is correct, guys. That's the thinking of a Dick.

Well, as long as Illinois is a hopelessly blue state, they will continue to elect statewide and national embarrassments like Dick.
