Sen. Durbin: Israel needs to 'defang' Hezbollah

Occasionally something worthwhile comes from Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IL. Today is one of those days. And yes, he did say Israel needs to "defang" Hezbollah.

From AP:

Senator Dick Durbin told visiting constituents on Capitol Hill today that Israel is doing exactly what the United States would do if a neighboring nation killed U-S soldiers and fired rockets at this country. Durbin says the U-S wouldn't stand for such attacks.

The Illinois Democrat says it's sad that Hezbollah has placed itself in highly populated areas of Lebanon and innocent people are dying as Israel presses with its attacks. But he says that's happens during a war.

Durbin added that Hezbollah is a terrorist group, not a political party, and they also were responsible for the deadly bombing of the U-S Marine barracks in Beirut two decades ago.
