Sen. Durbin is just continuing in the 30 year tradition (since the end of the Vietnam War) of the Democratic Party--of giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy in time of war.
His comments are no more outrageous than those offerred by Sen. Kennedy only a few months ago! Kennedy's unconscionable comments were no different, yet they received only a fraction of the current outrage that Durbin's anti-American comments have received.
