I know. My oldest son, 29, is one week into his second go in Iraq. Special Ops. Didn't have to go, but an SF officer he worked with last year was putting a team together for a certain task and offered him first shot at it. It's more of a command center job; no more midnight raids and whatnot, so there's that. No reason not to expect a happy ending.

Got a year and a half to go for his degree at the U of Maryland, and an 8-year old daughter, done a tour there already and came back with the SF Combat Patch, done tours in SA and the Philippines, Korea, China. But the call came again, and he answered..

I think about that ...creature.. in the senate, and what he/it said...I think about a lot of things.

What a fantastic expression of your feelings. And I agree with all of it, especially the treasonous seditious part! ;-)

God bless your daughter and son-in-law and keep them safe to return home to y'all. And thank them for their service!

Great Post. It's Treason for the likes of Durbin!! My Son-In Law spent 6 Mo. At Gitmo. He is a Navy Psychiatric Nurse. He tells me tales about having things from every bodily orifice being thrown at him.

Idiots like Durbin and other dems just DO NOT understand the moral equivalency of their asinine comparisons...to him a "prisoner being mistreated" is the same as the atrocities of the brutal regimes...he is a complete fool, and doesn't even UNDERSTAND what he is saying, he has no clue...he read his stupid "talking points" and is now surprised by the reaction/outrage...CLUELESS...

Well you should be angry, So am I.

Durbin is nothing more than a left wing Kook and a Dean wannabe.

Because of leadership from egotistical idiots like Deadwood Durbin,the Dimorat party has become reprehensible to just about anyone who has a sane mind.
I found The Turbins remarks extremely offensive.

Do the Dimorats ever get out of their Ivory Tower offices and converse with the real patriotic countrymen in the USA.

Turbin and his ilk have drank so much Moveon.org sewer rat Kool Aide that it clouds their narrow outlook on politics.

I tell you folks the Dimorat party has become the enemy from within. I would bet the ranch that these dimwits still do get it.

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?
WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

WHEN INNOCENT PEOPLE'S HEADS ARE CUT OFF ON TV THERE IS NO OUTRAGE.

WHEN A MURDERER IS FORCED TO STAND ON A CONCRETE FLOOR WHILE THE AIRCONDITIONER IS MAKING THE ROOM 50 DEGREES, THEN THERE IS OUTRAGE.

THIS IS TREASON ON BEHALF OF THESE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS! I WISH WOULD ROUND THEM UP AND SUBJECT THEM TO A FIRING SQUAD. THEY ARE AIDING THE ENEMY.

THIS SICKENS ME!

THE ENEMY FROM WITHIN IS OUT WORST ENEMY BY FAR.

THE TERRORISTS ARE A THORN IN OUR SIDE COMPARED TO OUR REAL ENEMY, THE DEMOCRATIC LEFT!

THEY ARE ERODING OUR COULTURE FROM WITHIN. THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSE TO OUR COUNTRY IS MANY TIMES THE DESTRUCTION OF 9-11.

I'm with you. My nephew will be leaving his wife and two
babies in August, to serve in Iraq.
Dick Durbin, from the once proud
state of Illinois, makes me SICK.

What he said was calculated to harm the President and he cared not at all about demeaning our troops and endangering our country in the process. There is only one word for what he has done : TREASON

But what it has done is rally all behind our troops again even stronger. The Dems just don't get it. When things get going tough for the US, we just need a reason to get the wave of patriotism going again. Thank you Durbin, you just gave us reason to rally around our soldiers again.

Your words are so true. God Bless you and your family and I'll say a few prayers for their safe return.

Please thank your Daughter and Son in Law for their service. They are lucky to have you for a Dad, thats for sure.
