It's Dick Durbin's fault, stupid

From California, a Conservative notes the news that a soldier has been accused of fragging two of his superior officers in Iraq, scratches his chin, and posts the following reasonableness,

The vital question is: Why? What evil, darkness of mind and absence of conscience, would drive a man to commit such an atrocity upon his fellow soldiers?

Could it be possible that among the voices in Staff Sgt. Martinez’ head were those of Amnesty International, Senator Dick Durbin, and all the others who are publicly condemning America’s military by falsely accusing U.S. soliders of crimes against humanity?

Bejeezus. Driven to madness by the unholy shrillness of Amnesty International and Dick Durbin's floor speech; nevermind that the incident happened on June 7, well before Dick Durbin's sad review of the atrocities at Guantanamo Bay.

It of course couldn't be because a guy with a screw loose, with problems back home, and stuck for what is seeming more and more interminable, cracked and decided he wasn't going to take any more from his commanding officer?

No, that couldn't be, because that would imply that our cause in Iraq isn't entirely just and true. It would mean that Rumsfeld screwed up and didn't have the forces needed, leaving us to rely on older men with families to support back home. It would mean that morale is low among the troops in Iraq, not because of something Amnesty International said, but because the troops are coming to see the war as a pointless, deadly mistake with no end in site.

That just can't be.
