Turbin Durbin Says Surge Is Success But Politically Not
Senators Durbin and Casey are in Iraq, and were interviewed this morning by CNN's John Roberts (video below). Senator Durbin made the first attempt to recognize the success of the surge and dismiss it in one breath:
SEN. DICK DURBIN: There were two important parts of this story, the military type as Senator Casey said the men and women were doing their best and making real progress. We found that today as we went to a forward base. The fifth year of the war, it's the first time we're putting troops on the ground to intercept al Qaeda. There's another side to this story the Brookings institution shouldn't miss. As we are seeing military progress, any political scene is discouraging. We are seeing the al Maliki government once branded the government of unity coming apart. We are seeing Sunnis and others leaving and not becoming the stability of this country.
Wild Thing's comment........
Durbin is part of the enemy within, his past cannot be erased by going to Iraq then being on CNN, and trying to make a half assed statement like he does on this video.
Heck yes the surge is working and all of us konw it. We also know the progaganda of the left to say it is not working over and over.
Posing to take credit for surge’s success.
Faced with the undeniable fact of the Anbar awakening (well, almost undeniable), the Democrats have subtly shifted from Reid’s and Pelosi’s and Edwards’s line that the surge has failed to the more nuanced (and more accurate) line that the political process has failed.
OK, so he's saying that the military solution is working and the political solution doesn't? Isn't this exactly 180 degrees out of synch with what they've been saying all along?
It must be hard to be a Democrat! LMAO What a jerk Durbin is.

... yeah, and I guess the two A-Bomb drops on Hiroshima & Nagasaki in August 1945 were 'militarily correct' in persuading the Japs to SURRENDER unconditionally, but politically incorrect - although at least 50,000 US military lives were saved in this decision by President Harry Truman? Ecclesiastes 10:2 reads "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the LEFT!"

Senator Durbin is a tolerable sort. When his mouth is closed! Otherwise he is a second rate clown act. The dems are lucky in that they have the media on their side. So, their misstatements are not repeated over and over and their contadictions are seldom pointed out.

So Little Dick Dirtbin is at it again, is he? Just my luck, this bum is from MY state.

The difference between Durbin's head and a Jack-o-Lantern is that the pumpkin has a small light in it.
The man is a complete moron.
