House Speaker Dennis Hastert slammed Sen. Joe Biden Wednesday for remarks that he said "may bring comfort to our enemies" in the U.S. war in Afghanistan.
Biden had warned after a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations Wednesday, that continued bombing of Taliban targets and Osama bin Laden's encampments made the U.S. look like "a high-tech bully."
Hastert called the remarks "completely irresponsible," according to Roll Call, then added:
"After losing close to 5,000 fellow citizens to terrorist attacks over the last month and a half, the American people want us to bring these terrorists to justice. They do not want comments that may bring comfort to our enemies."
