Then watch. Once he resigns, they won't vote for his replacement in confirmation hearings, holding it up for months, on the basis he or she would be "too conservative".

Is Harkin calling for Kerry to resign because of his admitted atrocities?

Form Letter

Dear Senator Harkin,


The Supreme Court of The United States ruled that photographs, literature, and sexual acts of a homosexual nature including (but not exclusive to) the following: S&M, bestiality, pedaphilia, bisexuality, sodomy, and orgies ARE protected behaviors of the Constitution of the United States. The alledged Iraqi torture was in fact protected behavior and free speech among "consenting adults" as you are already fully aware. Therefore, may I respectfully suggest an appropriate name for the investigating committee as The Mapplethorpe Commission, in honor of that classic homo-erotic photographer?

Sincerely,
Name Withheld

As I recall, two or three Republican congressmen muttered something about Monica when clinton began bombing Belgrade, completely contrary to our national interest. But they quickly shut up when the media and the Democrats screamed that no patriot would complain about the administration during a time of war. The Republicans are STILL refraining from noticing that clinton handed Kosovo over to a gang of drug-running, church-burning, ethnic-cleansing murderous Muslim thugs, or that clinton had no "exit plan" for Bosnia and Kosovo.

I hate politics. When an employee gets arrested for a crime do we call for his CEO to resign? Liberals detest the whole notion of "responsibility" yet when it suits their political motives they become its most extreme proponent.

Tom Harkin: future unidentifiable object in the dung heap of history...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Tell once again how you went toe to toe with North Viet MiGs, Tom.

No.

Next!

Rumsfeld to Harkin: Go Pound Sand!

[Howlin]

Is Harkin calling for Kerry to resign because of his admitted atrocities?

Absolutely!!!

Why would McCain and Harkin support a man who has already ADMITTED and never retracted the fact that he, himself, committed atrocities during a time of war?

This is getting better and better--for Republicans. Dems have the knack for making themselves look dumb and dumber. Those calling for his resignation are simply crybabies responding to their inner child who's crying, "But nobody told me..."

"Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, demanded Rumsfeld's ouster "for the good of our country, the safety of our troops, and our image around the globe.""

Sen. Harkin, YOU should be the one who does this, and have should have done so years ago (like when you visited Ortega).

[ScaniaBoy]

In its Thursday editions, the Post-Dispatch called for Rumsfeld's resignation not only because of the prisoner abuses but also because Rumsfeld "seriously underestimated" both the number of U.S. troops needed in the Iraq conflict and the threat from weapons of mass destruction posed by Saddam Hussein

Excuse me. How many US soldiers have been injured by WMDs in Iraq????

Is it a trainee journalist at large on AP again?

[Howlin]

Every single person who espouses these demands and condemantions should be asked if they are also demanding that Kerry withdraw from the presidential race.

After all, if this looks bad for American, how could we ever allow an admitted murderer and torturer to hold the Oval office?

[Naspino]

A good concern about Kerry is that he has admitted to commiting war crimes in Vietnam. What is to stop Vietnam from asking the ICC (which obviously Kerry will try to ratify) to try Kerry? Talk about a disgrace to the nation.

[GulliverSwift]

I think the case against Rumsfeld is nothing more than a dung heap. Of course, I haven't looked at the evidence. But neither has old dung heap.

[Howlin]

I'd love to hear them try to explain why that doesn't apply to him!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

They would love for Rummy to be gone, because people love the guy. He's one of the few in government who isn't afraid to say exactly what he thinks, and they can't stand it.
