Turn it loose, guys...
Enough self-flagellation. Most people agree that Senator Durbin made a strategic mistake. Let it go. There are more important battles to fight. Senator Durbin will be OK....He's from Illinois...He has probably learned a lot from this episode also. You are never too old to learn. Shake it off...let Rush and Savage talk about it...it's time to get back on track.

1. Indeed.

We don't need to keep recycling already stale criticism. There is more important work to do.

2. The mistake was made by the people who ordered torture, period.

3. maybe our side can turn this episode back on the right wing (somehow)
instead of letting them continually pounding us with it, which they'll do all through the election cycle.

4. Well said. I think we need to play offense from here on in.
Geez- it seems as though we spend too much time and energy DEFENDING ourselves against these wretched creatures. I say we call them on THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR OUR MEN IN UNIFORM by citing recent examples...lack of body armour (STILL), doubling their time of duty, having them pay for their own laundry while serving in IRAQ (what the hell is THAT about?), guarding mercenaries that get paid up to $1500.00 daily while our boys barely bring that home in an entire month, their wives stand in line for bread and cheese...I mean, it's beyond unacceptable!
We've got a list a mile long we can throw at them. Enough about OUR lack of patriotism! I'm tired of it! I believe that we can turn the tables on them very easily with ONE UNIFIED VOICE and ONE UNIFIED MESSAGE.

peace.:patriot:
