John Podhoretz in the NY Post:

Dick Durbin has slandered the American military. He has slandered his country. He has defiled truth and he has spat on reason. He has given aid and comfort to all those who seek to use America's tough stance in the War on Terror as a recruiting tool for anti-Americanism.

He is the Senate's Democratic whip: a leader of his party by any stretch of the imagination. If he remains a leader of his party, his party deserves to be judged by his words — by his anti-military, anti-American words.

I canÂ’t help but wonder how many quotes of U.S. Senators will make their way into the defense arguments in the upcoming trial of Saddam Hussein. What could be a better argument? He can say that even many American elected officials argue that his actions were no worse than those perpetrated by the Bush administration in Iraq.

The Democrats would rather have us be “liked” by the people who have committed to murdering us by the score rather than fighting our enemies. Democrats scream bloody murder when someone questions their patriotism. Too damn bad — Durbin’s statement was exceptionally unpatriotic and outright stupid.
