"When it comes to identifying who stands with America and who stands AGAINST
America, it's clear to me that Durbin wears a Turban"

June 17, 2005
Subject: Letter to SENATOR DURBIN

Senator Durbin,

I spent 27 years in the United States Air Force and flew three tours in
Vietnam. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have known and served
with so many great military men from the lowest ranks to the highest in
those years and since. The young men and women of today are no less
marvelous.

I detested what Jane Fonda and John Kerry did to our service men in that
era, and I consider them both traitors of ALMOST the worst design. However,
your largely fabricated presentation on the Senate Floor of two days ago
will ultimately have worse effect upon this nation than what they did. You,
therefore have assumed the unheralded position of one of the worst traitors
I could ever imagine. Even Benedict Arnold had more righteous reasons for
treason than you have.

You gave aid and comfort to the enemy, you have abetted the terrorist by
giving them marvelous verbiage to scatter throughout the Muslim world. But,
worst of all, you have added to and altered a report which should never have
seen the light of day in a way that discredits the honor of our fighting men
today.

You, sir, are now a man whom I shall loathe far more that Fonda and Kerry.
They made life miserable for our POWs and got chicken blood spattered on our
sacred uniforms as we returned from the War. You, sir, have done your
damndest to spatter the reputations and honor of these great warriors.

Oh, don't try to explain how esoteric your charges were and to now heap
praise upon our people. Your words are spread across the world now on Al
Jazerra and the liberal media that wants to tear down America. You attempted
to disgrace every man and woman in the United States Armed Services with
your despicable, politically motivated weeping session over the terrorist
slime and scum that US Forces are holding in Gitmo Bay.

I will circulate what I have just written here as widely as possible. I hope
the pressure is so great upon you that you will have to resign in disgrace.
You used our soldiers and Marines for your own personal political vendetta.
Shameless and without honor, sir!

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any
war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they
perceive veterans of earlier wars and how they were treated and appreciated
by this country."?

GEORGE WASHINGTON, FIRST USA CINC

pass it on please.

Like Plastic Ducks popping up at a Carnival game of chance, various Democrats are "popping" up with these ridiculous statements.
Only to be shot down.

The democratic ducks, currently a bunch of moving targets but soon to be
stilled
