I won't beat a dead horse -- I had simply posted a little tongue-in-cheek blurb about this; however, now I'm royally miffed! Michelle Malkin has done a great round-up of the Durbin flack. If you haven't read it, please do; you'll get a nice summary. Take some action after reading it; trust me you'll feel better for having done so.
Unfortunately, the RINO John McCain (R-AZ) has now joined the other ill-informed senators and stepped over the line with his comments about Gitmo. Combined, Durbin and McCain have provided more aid and comfort to our enemies than I can remember since Fonda and Vietnam.
This is getting way out of hand and needs to stop. If John McCain truly thinks that we need to try the detainees at Gitmo, I think he'd better get a grip on reality. For example, would McCain have wanted to be tried by the Vietcong when he was a POW? I'm sure he was threated with that very thing many times. Does he not understand that we are holding these people at Gitmo as "enemy combatants?" Not quite the equivalent of POWs but they are not being held for trial. They are being held to prevent them from re-joining their comrades in jihad against our soldiers. DUH, McCAIN!! Get a grip on yourself. We negotiate the release of detainees after the end of a war; we don't try them. We try war criminals AFTER the war is over and not one minute before. Where are the level-headed grown-ups? Who's in charge of the daycare center we call Congress anyway?! Can we hire a history and civics tutor for these dolts??
Sheessh. I've done some poking around in an effort to find the comments of McCain as I heard them on two different radio shows today. When I find them, I'll post them. Take a slug of Pepto Bismol first though... you're going to need it.
