Twenty-Six House Democrats Push to Fire Rumsfeld

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of more than two dozen House of Representatives Democrats on Monday said they had introduced a resolution urging President Bush to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

"This resolution would make official what so many members of Congress already believe -- that the soldiers in Iraq and America's foreign policy would be helped greatly if Donald Rumsfeld would leave," Rep. Charles Rangel of New York said in a statement.

Rangel said he so far had 25 co-sponsors to the resolution who were "willing to stand up and say what so many policy makers know, that the first step to bringing our troops home is to send Donald Rumsfeld home."

The resolution said Rumsfeld misled the American public on assessments of progress in the war and occupation, sent U.S. forces to Iraq "without adequate planning and sufficient equipment," and "demonstrated a lack of sensitivity" in statements on the war and U.S. casualties.

With members of the deeply divided, Republican-controlled Congress pushing for adjournment before the end of November, the resolution would be highly unlikely to come up for a vote.

And there will be no repurcussions for the idiots who have taken such an insupportable position in the middle of a war.

Nothing like proving you have no power...demand that GWB do something.....

[PISANO]

You can get 26 house democrats to encourage the OVERTHROW of our government and turn it over to ISLAM. They are nothing but socialist/marxists asses.

Donald Rumsfeld is, without question, one of the finest Secretaries of Defense/War this country has ever seen.

I remember when Bush was assembling his Cabinet, and I was rooting for Dan Coats to get Defense.... and was disappointed when some guy named Rumsfeld got it instead. "Who the hell is this guy?" I wondered. Well, Rummy has sure as hell shown what he's made of and I pray he'll be there through the end of Bush's second term.

Where's the rest of the slimey sewer dwellers? We got that many step-n-fetchit members of the Congressioanl Black Caucus! They all lined up several years back and swore Willie was telling the truth. Terry says lie, and, by golly, they lie. Do these weasels really believe that their constant obstructionism, whineing, bitching and trying to force good guys to resign (why doesn't Rockefeller resign?) convinces any one? They are all lying scumbags and all they are doing is proving to the few non-committed that the dems can't be trusted.

Next, Rangle will submiy a resolution urging George senior to disown his son. Rangle should concentrate on the important, fully segregated, step-n-fetchit business of his racist caucus,

Yes, there is a big divide between the Congressional Black Caucus and normal congressmen.

I remember when Henry B. From San Antonio would enter a bill every week to impeach Reagan. Seems like old times.
