"Aid And Comfort" From Wisconsin

Wisconsin has two "odious" people in the news today. Senator Feingold is pushing his bill to end funding for future deployment of U.S. troops to Iraq. His hearing was well attended by anti-war protesters, some of whom defiled the steps of the Capitol with spray paint slogans, and got away with it.
An even greater outrage than what Feingold is trying to do and will fail, is the outrageous exchange between a Sargent in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Taji, Iraq.
For some unknown reason that is very troubling to this blogger, is the fact that these warriors ,who now defend what was once Saddam's Republican Guards' stronghold in one of the most dangerous locations in Iraq. Have no cots or mattresses to sleep on.
Because the sand these soldiers sleep on is full of sand mites and other parasites that carry exotic diseases. Sargent Jason Hess wrote to Bargain Suppliers Discount Mats via email, to see if he could buy some mats for his men. The email he received back from this West Allis, Wisconsin firm run by an ex-patriot of Pakistan, now a U.S. resident, Faisal Kheanis. Was a terse statement that said: We don't ship our mats to APO addresses, and even if we did we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible you and your troops would pull out of Iraq".
Both Feingold and Mr. Khetanis are probably getting "three cheers" from CAIR, but I think they both are guilty of giving "aid and comfort" to any enemy that has as its' sole objective the destruction of US!
Shame on both of you. By the way when will they Army send its troops into battle area with all the equipment they need including mats to sleep on. Sick soldiers can't do their job!
