There were 2 Senators that went to Iraq to kiss Sadam's but prior to the war.
Was Durbin one of them?
There were two from the House of Representatives who went, not Senators. One was David Bonior of Michigan (now retired) and the other was Jim McDermott of Washington state. They made excuses for Saddam by saying maybe he wasn't ok but he was not as big a liar as President Bush.
