Meet your #2 Democrat in the Senate

"I call on those who question the motives of the president and his national security advisors to join with the rest of America in presenting a united front to our enemies abroad.”

Really, can it be true? No. This was Senator Dick Durbin's response to President Clinton's decision to bomb Iraq in 1998.

The Sen. Durbin of today is comparing the changing of the room temperature, the playing of Christina Aguilera music to forced labor camps and mass executions. I am serious.

For a nice profile of Sen. Durbin and some of his crazy friends, read this article over at Real Clear Politics.

Instead of trying to conduct a reasonable debate over what is or isn't torture, however, Democrats like Durbin are overrun by partisanship and a desire to humiliate this administration. The result is a massive rhetorical overreach like the one on Tuesday which defies historical fact, slanders the U.S. military, and leaves the impression that Democrats are instinctively more interested in protecting the rights of suspected terrorists than they are about protecting the country.

Yeah, it almost seems like some Democrats pray that we lose, even that Iraq be the next Vietnam.
