The U.S. acted illegally when its soldiers attacked and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, a leading Democratic congressman complained on Tuesday, before mocking the military maneuver that succeeded in eliminating the brutal duo.
"We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody," Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-NY, told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
"We tried to assassinate Castro and we paid dearly for it," the Rangel contended. "And when you personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in turn, think they can kill somebody."
When an incredulous Sean Hannity expressed dismay at Rangel's comments, the Harlem Democrat shot back, "How can you get so much satisfaction that two bums have been killed? We got bums all over the world and some in the United States."
Then Rangel mocked the U.S. military's success in killing the two Hussein heirs, saying, "I personally don't get any satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two bums."

The Democratic Party would not be what it is today without representatives such as Charles Rangel.LOL! I like it when the liberal/leftists reveal their true nature. It's always better to see things in the bright light - then you know how to respond properly. And if some people still think Rangel is a regular human, then we know where they're at too.

Speaking of laws on the books, last I looked, treason is punishable by death.
Democrats beware: at some point, and probably one you have already passed, cheerleading for America's enemies becomes treason.
Note to Mr. Rangel: It's not too late. Abandon evil, tear up your contract with the devil, and come home to America. We are much more forgiving than the murderers, rapists and despots you so avidly admire and support.

Actually the entire NY delegation is worthless. Peter King is a RINO and are there even any other R's in the whole delegation?

"
"I personally don't get any satisfaction that it takes 200,000 troops, 250,000 troops, to knock off two bums."" This jerk whitewashes the magnitude of evil these two men have perpetrated on mankind by calling them "bums". Bums sit on park benches and get drunk. Sadistic, brutal tyrants who command entire nations and commit mass murders, torture tens of thousands, rape at will and incarcerate thousands of innocent men, women and children are not "bums", they are psychotic animals who make the whole world a far better place by dying.

Democrats like this inhabit some parallel universe. If they weren't so deadly dangerous they would be quite entertaining...

I am speechless as well, but this could make a great campaign add in the congressional elections in 04.

This was a firefight, not an assasination.

The Dims don't care one whit about the suffering of the Iraqi people, just as they don't care one whit about the millions murdered in the name of communism/socialism. They are truly the party of evil.

Is there any conceivable way a democrat could ever be trusted with our national defense after their "performances" this year?

Well, they were kids in the leftist tradition.. 'someone's kid' is used by the democrats often when including 20 year old gang bangers in gun crime statistics.

There's a law on the books, eh?
I presume he's talking about a US law. Surely he can't be claiming our laws apply outside the US, and all that could be logically drawn from that. Pretty sure the matter was cleared a while back. That's sorta why the Afghan detainees are at Gtmo Bay. Does this guy never watch TV?

It's like I posted on another thread, I knew when the Dims were saying all that stuff about unity on 9-11 that it was all a line of bull.
