Senator Dick Durbin: US Soldiers Are Nazis

He didn't say it exactly like that. But here's what he did say:

When you read some of the graphic descriptions of what has occurred here [at Guantanamo Bay]--I almost hesitate to put them in the [Congressional] Record, and yet they have to be added to this debate. Let me read to you what one FBI agent saw. And I quote from his report:

[...]

If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

When will Durbin (D-Il) be taking on an advisory post with Amnesty International?

Of course he won't apologize...what good leftist would? There's more yammering about the U.S. "abandoning the Geneva Conventions," of course. But let's be clear about who is being detained at Guantanamo: men who have no particular country of allegiance, wear no uniform, fly no flag, attempt to blend in with civilians in order to ambush properly uniformed soldiers, kill civilians on purpose, and are instructed to claim abuse in captivity even when no abuse is taking place. Not only are they not eligible for recognition under the Geneva Conventions, but they get a lot better treatment than they deserve.

This is not Hogan's Heroes, folks. This is war. War is nasty. Our enemies, the Islamic jihadists, are nasty. They will stop at nothing for their cause...the spread of radical Islam throughout the world...unless they are stopped by us and our allies (the MSM wouldn't have you believe it, but we do have them.)

I don't have a lot of love for my senators, but I'm thankful I'm not represented by traitors like Sentator Durbin of Illinois. Yes, he's a traitor. He'd much rather kiss up to those who wish us ill than stand up for the men and women who put on a uniform and defend his right to spout his traitrous trash.

The man is a disgrace to the public office he holds.

UPDATE: Baldilocks weighs in on Guantanamo; the wonderful Christopher Hitchens has an excellent take; The Man at GOP and the City has some info on Nazi dolls on display in the Village.
