Rangel: U.S. Acted Illegally in Killing Uday and Qusay

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.

Maybe Qusay and Uday are saving a seat in Hell for their pal Charlay.

Wasn't it Rangel who characterized the military as thugs and baby-killers?

And who did that Charley? I assume by 'we' he means 'Democrats'.

A dark day for Rangel and the other members of the American Ba'athist Party.

It must really suck to be Rangel...having to come up with ever larger howlers every time he comes on somewhere.

Yes, on H&C a few weeks ago. He comes across as avuncular and jolly. He's actually a mean, evil man.

He's actually the king of Harlem. Well, the black king. Billy Blythe is the white king of Harlem.

Perhaps Rangel will tell us again how "Bush lied"....
as his selective amnesia continues to block all memory of the Master Liar, 1993-2001.
Indeed -- shut the hell up, Charlie. You're an imbecile AND a socialist sycophant.

He'd be crowing it from the Empire State Building if it had been Clinton or Gore who took them out.

So, Clinton is both the first black president as well as the white king of Harlem?

Makes perfect sense.
