WASHINGTON (AP) -- The national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars says Senator Dick Durbin's comparison of American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis and Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot angers the group of 2.4-million veterans.
John Furgess said today that Durbin was out of line and he demanded an apology.
Earlier today, the White House said the Illinois Democrat's comments were a disservice to those serving in the military.
Durbin made the comparison on the Senate floor Tuesday after reading an F-B-I report describing Guantanamo Bay detainees as being chained to the floor without food or water in extreme temperatures.
A Durbin spokesman says the senator doesn't plan to apologize for his comments.
And the senator issued a statement saying the Bush administration that should apologize for "authorizing torture techniques."
Sweet! :-) I encourage everyone who hasn't already to contact Durbin's office. And I plan to thank Virginia's own John Warner, who is tearing this seditious scumbag a new one on the Senate floor.
Durbin is a POS SOB.
About time the VFW got off it's fat washington DC butt.
A vote to censure Durbin is the absolute LEAST the Senate needs to do to this POS. Time to force all the Dems in the Senate (and elsewhere) to stand up and be counted. Do you agree that our soldiers are Nazis, or do you not? Are you with us, or are you with the terrorists?
(We already know the answer in most cases, but making them admit it is worth doing).

He can be reprimanded or censured by the Senate.
Can he? Yeah, I think so, if a political leader stepped up to do it. Will he be charged? Snowball's chance.
Link won't work.
Why do Democrats hate America?
i don't know, but I'm beginning to hate them.
That would take a man.
Sorry to say it, but Illinois is down a few million when it comes to men, real men.
I get an error message on that link. But any conservative senator worth a damn should already have made the motion.
Impeach TurbinDurbin!
I said that url was still available...
Somebody in DC needs to take a good look at the statutes that cover sedition and traitorous acts.
The liberals are so desperate to be heard these days, they are trashing the military at every juncture. What they seem to forget is that the dimocrats have family members in the military too. They are determined to self destruct. GW finally came on board and portrayed them for just what they are; "Obstructionists". No alternate or constructive plans, just constant criticism.
Sad, but true...
However -- this is one of those CLEAR instances, when if one doesn't speak up in condemnation, I would suspect they must agree with the outrageous insult to our Nation and it's Armed Forces..
Turd in the Turban Durbin - MUST be PUNISHED for being such a lying sonuvabitch....
Expulsion from the Senate -- for CLEARLY giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war -- for starters.
Semper Fi
Thank you Mr. Durbin, thank you Mrs. Pelosi, thank you Mr. Reid. All who love their country, it's time to gang tackle the left!
Wow...first the ADL and now the VFW. he must've pissed a lot of people off.
We all know what side HE is on, and it sure isn't ours!
