SO .. IT WASN'T AN APOLOGY AFTER ALL
A little late here .. but I've finally seen a transcript of the so-called "apology" offered by Senator Dick Durbin on the floor of the senate. Durbin said that "Some may believe that my remarks crossed the line. To them I extend my heartfelt apologies." So, there you go Durbin only offered his apologies to those people who felt that his remark crossed the line. As for our men and women in uniform serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, and guarding murderous terrorists in Guantanamo ... no apology offered. So ... we're back to calling him Dick. In the meantime .. this whole affair has somehow because nothing less than a vicious plot by evil right-wingers. The mainstream media would have you believe that what Durbin said --- comparing American soldiers to Nazis -- is not nearly so bad as the right wing reaction to those words.
"I issued a release, which I thought made my intentions and my innermost feelings as clear as I possibly could."
Yes and your innermost feelings were soon to be broadcast all over the arab world further endangering our troops. That's the problem Khobar Dick!
