Rumsfeld Promises Durbin Better Treatment at Gitmo
by Scott Ott

(2006-06-16) -- Just a day after Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin compared U.S. personnel at the military detention facility at Guantanamo to those who worked in Nazi concentration camps, Soviet gulags and in Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld promised the Illinois Senator that he would receive better treatment during his own Gitmo captivity.

"The unspeakable cruelties that Sen. Durbin decried on the Senate floor must stop before his own detention on treason charges," said Mr. Rumsfeld. "After all, Dick Durbin is an American citizen, not an ordinary enemy combatant bent on destroying this nation and increasing the danger to our troops by inflaming the passions of the Muslim world."

A spokesman said Sen. Durbin is still a free man and a patriot, and he has drafted legislation renaming a favorite Gitmo menu item to reflect his solidarity with the oppressed Muslim inmates.

Under the measure, the dish made of ground, spiced and fried chick peas would be called: "Freedom Falafel."

A house divided against itself can not stand. The "house" (our nation) must come to grips with these traitorous fools if we are going to defend our homeland. Our brave men and women at risk under enemy guns are more at risk because of the idiot senator's remarks. Where are the mothers of our service men and women protesting Durbin? They found enough of them to lead by the nose around the country cursing our war effort. The left has truly become a fifth column of Quislings!

BUYER DEMANDS APOLOGY FROM ILLINOIS SENATOR

Oxen, did I see you start a thread before with the PDF file on this? Can you add the link? I find cross linking similar topics helpful for if we have to go back to find something.

As long as the buyer has a receipt and stands in the exchange line, the sought after apology should be easy to acquire.

Since Derbin is too stuborn a arrogant jackass to apologize or too d@mn stupid to understand that he owes an apology to the people who love this country and our troops,with the same ferverence with which he hates it and them-he should be removed from office through a recall election, by the embarrassed and dissappointed Illinois voters, who surely must be embarrassed for him and for ever electing him.

You know, if Congress were forced to go without A/C from May - September, they'd recess for that length of time. Not a bad idea, eh?

actually the dems are not handling this Durbin thing very well. Durbin should have issued an apology right away and enough of this would have blown over so dems could focus on "the memo" and other items on their agenda. instead now they have to defend this over the weekend.

Meanwhile, al-Jazeera has picked up the story worldwide. Congressman Buyer told News 8, "Senator Durbin needs to retract his cavalier and careless words. At this moment, his comments are being used all over the Arab world by al-Jazeera to motivate our enemies and undermine the success of our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Bingo...
